In the Spilinji area of Mastung, Balochistan, a military operation by Pakistani forces has triggered widespread protests against raids on homes, unwarranted arrests, and enforced disappearances.
According to local residents, the Frontier Corps (FC) detained three shopkeepers and two farmers, who have since gone missing. Two of the individuals have been identified as Younus, son of Basham, and Bilal, son of Sher Ahmed. Protesters are demanding the immediate recovery of all those who have been forcibly disappeared.
A large number of people began marching towards the FC camp in protest on Sunday.
Demonstrators stated that Pakistani forces have been repeatedly violating the sanctity of homes by conducting frequent raids. They alleged that harassment, arbitrary detentions, and the torture of detainees within FC camps have become a routine practice.
The protesters warned that if the forces do not change their behaviour, they will be compelled to escalate and expand their protest movement.
