16 Years On: Baloch Doctor's Disappearance Still Unresolved
Dr. Deen Mohammad Baloch, a doctor, was taken away by Pakistani security forces 16 years ago and hasn't been seen since.
This is a big problem in Balochistan, where many people have disappeared.
The organization Paank says this is wrong and wants the United Nations and other groups to help find Dr. Baloch and others who are missing.
They believe the government is using these disappearances to stop people from speaking out.
The families of the missing are suffering, and Paank wants the world to take action.
Dr. Deen Mohammad Baloch has been missing since his abduction on June 28, 2009.
Pakistani security personnel abducted Dr. Baloch from his hospital residence in Khuzdar.
His disappearance symbolizes the wider issue of enforced disappearances in Balochistan.
Thousands have reportedly vanished in Balochistan over two decades.
Paank demands the UN and other bodies to intervene and hold the Pakistani state accountable.
