Two young men, including a university law student, have been subjected to enforced disappearance in Balochistan’s Kech and Panjgur districts, according to their families.
Inzamam, son of Muhammad Hassan, was allegedly taken from his home in Kech’s Nasirabad during a raid by Pakistani security forces. His family said he was detained late at night on Friday and moved to an undisclosed location. Inzamam is a law student at the University of Turbat.
In a separate case, Sameer Sabzal, a resident of Tasp in Panjgur, was reportedly detained and forcibly disappeared on Thursday. His family said he was picked up without explanation and has remained missing since.
No official statement has been issued by the authorities in either case.
Meanwhile, students staged a protest at the University of Karachi on Friday against the disappearance of Baloch Students Front (BSF) chairman Javed Baloch.
The protest, organized by the Baloch Students Alliance, also called for the release of Gohram Ishaq, the Secretary General of the BSF’s Quetta Zone. Both men have been missing for several weeks.
A large number of students participated in the peaceful march, carrying placards and banners and chanting slogans demanding the return of the missing leaders. Organizers said the protest aimed to raise awareness about what they described as a broader campaign of “state repression.”
Speakers at the event said enforced disappearances violate fundamental rights and undermine the rule of law. They warned that targeting students for their political views was a threat to academic freedom and democracy.
“A conscious student is a symbol of resistance,” one student said. “Baloch students have always played a key role in political and academic life.”
The demonstration ended with a renewed call for the safe recovery of Javed Baloch, Gohram Ishaq, and all other forcibly disappeared individuals.
