Alleged Enforced Disappearances in Balochistan Raise Concerns Amid Conflicting Claims
Two cases of alleged enforced disappearances in Balochistan have raised concerns. Sher Baz Bangulzai, a bus conductor from Mastung, was reportedly taken by security personnel in July 2025 and remains missing. Shoaib Baloch from Quetta, missing since August 2025, was found in September 2026. Families and rights groups accuse state agencies of detaining individuals without due process, while Pakistani authorities deny systematic involvement, asserting operations follow legal frameworks.
