A student leader affiliated with the Baloch Students Organization (Pajjar) was forcibly disappeared from a hostel in Quetta, the group said.
The BSO Pajjar said its central senior vice chairman, Babul Malik Baloch, was taken from the Polytechnic College hostel late on Tuesday night and moved to an undisclosed location.
In a statement, the organization described the incident as “highly concerning” and said the disappearance of a student leader from an educational institution was a violation of fundamental rights.
It said Babul Malik Baloch had been active in advocating for students’ educational and democratic rights, adding that his disappearance had created fear in academic spaces and could affect the educational environment.
The group said that if there were any charges against him, he should be produced before a court and due legal process followed.
“If there are any allegations, they should be addressed under the Constitution and law,” the spokesperson said.
The organization said such incidents were contributing to unrest and anxiety in Balochistan and urged state institutions to act within the framework of the constitution.
It also appealed to human rights organizations, civil society, political parties and the media to take notice of the case and press for his recovery.
Pakistani authorities did not immediately comment on the allegation.
