The bodies of two men who had reportedly been forcibly disappeared following detention by Pakistani forces have been recovered from Buleda in Balochistan’s Kech district, while the family of a man missing since 2015 joined a protest camp in Quetta to demand his recovery.
According to reports, the bodies were recovered from Buleda’s Saloi Kaur area and identified as Yasir, son of Baloch Khan, and Mehran, son of Haji Akbar. The reports said both bodies bore signs of torture.
Paank, the Baloch National Movement’s human rights department, condemned the killings and called for an independent investigation into the deaths and the alleged involvement of Pakistani forces.
The organisation identified Yasir as a 19-year-old student from Minaz, Buleda, and said FC personnel took him from his home on March 2, 2026. It said Mehran was detained during a raid on his home in the same area on November 16, 2025, and taken to a military camp.
The discovery comes as the Voice for Baloch Missing Persons (VBMP) continued its protest camp against enforced disappearances outside the Quetta Press Club for the 6,394th day on Tuesday.
Family members of Abdul Rehman Marri joined the protest, demanding his safe recovery and information about his whereabouts. According to his family, he was forcibly disappeared from New Kahan, Hazarganji, in Quetta on January 13, 2015.
The family said he had neither been presented before a court nor had they received any information about his whereabouts in the years since his disappearance. They said the prolonged uncertainty had left them in severe distress and appealed to senior authorities to ensure his safe recovery.
VBMP Chairman Nasrullah Baloch demanded the recovery of Abdul Rehman Marri and all other missing persons. He said the state was responsible for informing families about their relatives’ whereabouts and presenting anyone accused of an offence before a court.
He also called for an end to enforced disappearances and urged that cases involving missing persons be resolved in accordance with the Constitution and the law.
The recovery of the bodies in Buleda comes amid continuing reports of bodies being found in different parts of Balochistan. Some have subsequently been identified as people previously reported missing. Families and human rights organisations have repeatedly alleged that individuals subjected to enforced disappearance were later killed in custody or in staged encounters.
In its six-month report covering January to June 2026, the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) documented 150 civilian deaths, including 15 minors.
The organisation said at least 48 people were victims of what it described as the “kill and dump” practice, in which people were forcibly disappeared and later found dead, often bearing signs of torture. It also attributed 20 deaths to alleged staged encounters.
