Pakistan Rights Body Condemns Forced Disappearances of Four Baloch Civilians
A human rights group in Pakistan called Paank has spoken out against the forced disappearances of four Baloch men.
These men were taken by Pakistani security forces and intelligence agencies.
The disappearances happened in different places like Gwadar, Quetta, and Barkhan between March and July.
Paank says this is against international human rights laws.
They want the government to tell where these men are, make sure they are safe, and punish those responsible.
The group also wants Pakistan to stop these disappearances and help the families of the victims.
Paank condemned the enforced disappearances of four Baloch individuals by Pakistani security forces.
The disappearances occurred between March 27 and July 24 in Gwadar, Quetta, and Barkhan.
Arif, Atiq Khetran, Meeran Baloch, and Nasir Baloch were forcibly disappeared.
Reports suggest involvement of Pakistan's Military Intelligence (MI) and Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD).
Paank called for immediate disclosure of the whereabouts of the disappeared persons and independent investigations.
