UN Calls for Investigation into Enforced Disappearance and Death of Balochistan Man
UN human rights experts have called on Pakistan to conduct an independent investigation into the enforced disappearance, torture, and extrajudicial killing of Imran Ali, a man from Balochistan. Ali was abducted in August 2025 by Pakistan's Counter-Terrorism Department and later killed in an alleged encounter in May 2026. Authorities delayed identifying his body, which was buried without proper documentation. Concerns were also raised about the handling of six other unidentified bodies at Civil Hospital Quetta, highlighting ongoing issues with enforced disappearances in Balochistan.
