Two young men have reportedly been taken into custody and transferred to an undisclosed location by Pakistani security forces in Quetta.
According to local sources, Pakistani military forces and the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) conducted separate operations in various parts of the city, detaining two individuals who have not been seen since.
Witnesses reported that late last night, forces detained a young man identified as Mir Shahek Qambrani from outside his home in Killi Qambrani. Relatives confirmed his disappearance, describing him as an educated and nature-loving individual, and urged authorities to ensure his immediate release.
In a separate incident, security personnel allegedly detained another man, Saleh Mohammad, son of Mohammad Bakhsh, from Zehri House in the Sariab area of Quetta. He was reportedly taken to an unknown location and remains missing.
Enforced disappearances have been a long-standing concern in Balochistan, where rights groups and local organisations have repeatedly accused Pakistan armed forces, the CTD, and state-backed armed groups—often referred to as “death squads”—of involvement in such cases.
Families of the disappeared, along with political and social organisations, continue to hold demonstrations and sit-ins across the region, calling for the safe recovery of their loved ones. However, activists say there has been little progress in addressing the issue so far.
