Reports of Enforced Disappearances Increase in Karachi and BalochistanPreviousNext

New reports of enforced disappearances have emerged in Karachi and Balochistan, involving a disabled schoolteacher, a young man from Panjgur, and three female members of a Baloch family. Families allege these individuals were detained by security forces without disclosure of their whereabouts or legal charges. The Human Rights Council of Balochistan condemned these incidents, calling for authorities to reveal the detainees' locations or present them before a court. Protests continue demanding their immediate recovery amid growing human rights concerns.
