Nine more Baloch men have allegedly been forcibly disappeared from different districts across Balochistan, adjoining Dera Ghazi Khan and Karachi, in what rights groups say is part of a continuing pattern of detentions carried out without warrants, charges or court production.
Local sources in Kech district’s Mand said Abdullah, son of Iqbal, was detained on 8 January and moved to an undisclosed location.
In Karachi, a 24-year-old student, Hamdan, son of Muhammad Ali, was detained at around 10 a.m. on 29 December 2025 by Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) personnel from the Golimar area. He has not been produced before any authority since.
On 2 November 2025, three Baloch youths — Dawood Baloch, Usman Baloch and Hakeem Majeed Baloch — were allegedly taken into custody during an early-morning raid by Military Intelligence and CTD personnel in Bhatta Colony and subsequently disappeared.
Separately, in Quetta’s Lak Pass area, 29-year-old religious teacher Zubair, son of Murad Khan, was reportedly detained late at night on 20 November 2025 and disappeared by Pakistani forces.
In Barkhan district, 28-year-old labourer Muhammad Iqbal Marri was allegedly picked up on 26 December 2025 in front of the Sessions Court in Rakhni by Military Intelligence personnel and moved to an undisclosed location.
On 11 December 2025 in Mastung district, 21-year-old cattle herder Saeed Ahmed, son of Muhammad Akbar, was allegedly detained from his home during a raid conducted by Frontier Corps and CTD personnel. His family said he has remained missing since.
According to another report received by The Balochistan Post, a 17-year-old student, Jamal Murad, son of Murad Jan, was taken into custody on 2 January at around 4:30 p.m. in Gwadar by CTD and Military Intelligence personnel and subsequently disappeared.
VBMP Protest Camp Marks 6,052 Days
Meanwhile, the protest camp of the Voice for Baloch Missing Persons (VBMP) outside the Quetta Press Club completed its 6,052nd day on Friday, continuing despite winter rain and severe cold.
Families of missing persons, including the relatives of Nasreena Baloch, participated in the camp and recorded their protest. Nasreena’s family said she was allegedly detained during a raid in Hub Chowki on 22 November and shifted to an undisclosed location.
They said police refused to register an FIR regarding her disappearance, and that the Hub Press Club was locked when they attempted to hold a press conference. The family said they were forced to travel to Quetta to seek attention from senior officials.
VBMP Chairman Nasrullah Baloch said enforced disappearances had intensified across Balochistan under the cover of national security, adding that “even Baloch women are now being forcibly disappeared”. He said detainees are neither produced before courts nor acknowledged officially, leaving thousands of families in prolonged anguish.
He accused state institutions of violating national laws and constitutional safeguards, saying the government had failed to exercise oversight. “Instead of stopping extrajudicial actions, new laws are being passed that only provide protection to these practices,” he said.
Nasrullah Baloch added that no meaningful steps had been taken at the international level either, creating an environment in which rights violations continue “day by day”.
He said it was the “constitutional and moral responsibility” of national and international institutions to take practical steps to end enforced disappearances and ensure the recovery of missing persons, including Baloch women.
