Two men who were allegedly forcibly disappeared from Quetta earlier this year have surfaced and been transferred to Huda Jail, while a protest camp organised by Voice for Baloch Missing Persons (VBMP) against enforced disappearances continued outside the Quetta Press Club for the 6,330th day.
Shahid Ahmed Kurd and Noor Mohammad Kurd, who were reportedly forcibly disappeared from Killi Khali, Quetta, on 8 April 2026, have been brought before the public and transferred to Huda Jail, according to VBMP.
VBMP Chairman Nasrullah Baloch welcomed the two men’s recovery, describing it as a positive development. He said that VBMP had submitted their cases to the Commission of Inquiry on Enforced Disappearances and the government, following which the commission had issued notices to the government and relevant authorities concerning their recovery.
Nasrullah Baloch expressed hope that the institutions responsible for ensuring justice would provide both men with their legal rights and due process under national Pakistani law. He called for the recovery of all other missing persons and demanded that individuals facing allegations be brought before the courts. He also urged authorities to take practical measures to prevent enforced disappearances.
Meanwhile, former Baloch Students Organization (BSO) chairman Muheem Khan Baloch and journalist Amanullah Shadenzai visited the VBMP protest camp. They expressed solidarity with the families of missing persons and recorded their protest against enforced disappearances.
During the visit, Muheem Khan Baloch and Amanullah Shadenzai expressed concern over the continued failure to recover missing persons, enforced disappearances and what they described as unlawful actions. They said families of missing persons have been facing prolonged distress and uncertainty.
They called on the government to ensure the recovery of all missing persons, present them before courts in accordance with the law, and take immediate and practical measures to end enforced disappearances.
