Paank Documents Hundreds of Disappearances, Killings in Balochistan
In the first half of 2025, a group called Paank reported a very serious problem in Balochistan, Pakistan.
They said that many people, about 785, went missing and were possibly kidnapped.
Also, 121 people were killed.
These are Baloch activists who are being targeted.
Paank is worried about people being taken away, especially students and teachers.
They are asking for these missing people to be found and for the government to stop these actions.
This has been happening for many years due to arguments about rights and who should control the area.
Paank documented 785 enforced disappearances in Balochistan in the first half of 2025.
Paank recorded 121 killings of Baloch activists in the first six months of 2025.

Paank expressed concern over the detention and possible deportation of activist Shabar Jamaldini.
Paank condemned the enforced disappearance of Dr. Usman Qazi and his brother Jibran Ahmed.
