Paank strongly condemns the enforced disappearances of Yasir (18), son of Haji Naik Saal; Shams Ur Rehman (21), son of Master Shay Bijjar; Saifullah (24), son of Zahoor Ahmed; and Shay Haq (20), son of Basheer Ahmed, who were abducted by personnel of the Frontier Corps (FC) and Military Intelligence (MI) during raids conducted in the early hours of 6 August 2026 in Bit Buleda, Kech District, Balochistan.
According to local sources, the victims were taken from their homes in Kaur-e-Pusht and Dambani at approximately 3:30 AM. Yasir and Saifullah, both laborers from Kaur-e-Pusht, along with Shams Ur Rehman, a laborer from Dambani, and Shay Haq, a student from Dambani, were forcibly taken into custody.
Since their abduction, their whereabouts remain unknown, causing immense distress and anguish for their families.
Paank expresses grave concern over the continued pattern of enforced disappearances in Balochistan, where individuals are detained without legal process and families are denied information regarding the fate and whereabouts of their loved ones. Such actions constitute serious violations of fundamental human rights and international legal obligations.
Paank calls upon the Pakistani authorities to immediately disclose the whereabouts of Yasir, Shams Ur Rehman, Saifullah, and Shay Haq, ensure their safety, and either release them without delay or present them before a court of law in accordance with due process.
We further urge national and international human rights organizations, including the United Nations human rights mechanisms, to take urgent notice of this case and press for accountability and justice.
Paank strongly condemns the enforced disappearances of Saddam Hussain, son of Nabi Bakhsh, and Moaiz Jan, son of Sabzal, both residents of Awaran, Balochistan. According to information received, Saddam Hussain was forcibly disappeared on 17 July 2026 at around 1:00 a.m. from Meer Abad, Hub Chowki, while Moaiz Jan (15) was abducted on 4 July 2026 at around 10:00 p.m. from Zehri Goht Daroo Hotel, Hub Chowki**. Reports indicate that personnel belonging to Pakistani security agencies were allegedly involved in their enforced disappearances. Since then, both men have remained missing, and their families have been left without any official information regarding their fate or whereabouts.
The continued practice of enforced disappearances in Balochistan represents a grave human rights crisis that violates fundamental rights guaranteed under international human rights law, including the rights to liberty, security, due process, and protection from arbitrary detention. The deliberate concealment of a person's whereabouts places them outside the protection of the law, exposing them to a heightened risk of torture and other forms of ill-treatment while causing severe psychological trauma to their families.
Paank urges the Government of Pakistan to immediately disclose the fate and whereabouts of Saddam Hussain and Moaiz Jan. If they are in state custody, the authorities must acknowledge their detention, ensure they have immediate access to legal counsel, family members, and any necessary medical care, and either promptly release them if they are being held without lawful basis or bring them before an independent and competent civilian court in accordance with due process and international fair trial standards.
Paank further calls for a prompt, impartial, independent, and transparent investigation into these reported enforced disappearances, with those responsible held accountable through fair judicial proceedings. The authorities must end the practice of enforced disappearances, ensure justice for victims and their families, and uphold Pakistan's obligations under international human rights law to protect every individual from arbitrary deprivation of liberty and enforced disappearance.
Paank strongly condemns the enforced disappearances of three Baloch individuals in Balochistan and expresses grave concern over the continuing pattern of arbitrary deprivation of liberty and the involvement of state authorities. These incidents reflect an ongoing human rights crisis that demands immediate attention of the international community.
Dilshad Baloch, son of Nazar Muhammad, 27 years old, a vaccinator at BHU and resident of Jannat Ali, Kohlu, was reportedly abducted on 17 July 2026 at approximately 1:00 AM from Baiker, Dera Bugti. He was taken by Aman Force personnel and subsequently handed over to Pakistan's Counter Terrorism Department (CTD). His whereabouts remain unknown.
Azam Baloch, son of Ahmed, 80 years old, a farmer and resident of Panwan, Jiwani, Gwadar, was reportedly forcibly disappeared from his home on 11 July 2026 at approximately 4:00 PM. According to reports received by Paank Pakistan Army personnel were responsible for his detention. His family has received no official information regarding his fate or whereabouts.
Zahid Baloch, son of Haji Abdul Kareem, a student and resident of Killi Kariz Kamal, Mastung, was abducted on 5 July 2026 at approximately 7:00 PM from Choungi Cross, Mastung. Reports indicate that personnel of the Frontier Corps (FC) were involved. His whereabouts remain unknown.
Paank calls on the Pakistani authorities to immediately disclose the fate and whereabouts of Dilshad Baloch, Azam Baloch, and Zahid Baloch. They must be afforded all legal safeguards, including prompt access to their families, lawyers, and necessary medical care, and either be charged with a recognizable criminal offence and brought before an independent court, or released immediately and unconditionally if they are being held solely in violation of their fundamental rights.
Paank further urges the authorities to conduct prompt, impartial, independent, and effective investigations into these enforced disappearances, ensure accountability for those responsible, and end the persistent practice of enforced disappearance in accordance with Pakistan's obligations under international human rights law.

Tahir Baloch was shot and killed by Pakistan Army-backed death Squad in Tump, Balochistan.
Paank strongly condemns the extrajudicial killing of Tahir Baloch, a 21-year-old laborer, who was shot dead by a state-backed death squad on January 21, 2026, in the Koshkalat area of Tump tehsil, Kech district.
Tahir Baloch, son of Mulla Nisar, belonged to a poor family and earned his livelihood through daily labor.
According to local sources, Tahir was deliberately targeted and killed in a broader pattern of violence aimed at Baloch youth. Such killings reflect a systematic policy of repression, where enforced disappearances and extrajudicial executions are used to instill fear and silence the local population.
Paank holds the state responsible for this grave violation of human rights and calls for an immediate, transparent, and independent investigation into Tahir Baloch’s killing. We urge international human rights organizations and the United Nations to take notice of the worsening situation in Balochistan and to hold the perpetrators accountable.
Paank stands in solidarity with the bereaved family and reiterates its demand for justice and an end to state-backed violence in Balochistan.

Another Baloch Woman Forcibly Disappeared By Pakistani Forces In Balochistan
Paank strongly condemns the enforced disappearance of Fatima Baloch, wife of Noroz Baloch, who was allegedly abducted by Pakistani security forces in the early hours of 13 January from Hub Chowki, Balochistan. She was taken without the presentation of an arrest warrant or any legal justification, and her family has been denied information regarding her whereabouts.
Fatima Baloch’s enforced disappearance follows the earlier abduction of her husband, Noroz Baloch, who was forcibly disappeared on 14 November 2024 from Hub Chowki by Pakistani security forces and was released after being held in secret detention for 20 days. The repeated targeting of the same family reflects a disturbing pattern of intimidation and reprisals against relatives of previously disappeared persons.
Enforced disappearances constitute serious violations of international human rights law, including the rights to liberty, security, due process, and protection from torture and other ill-treatment. Such practices amount to collective punishment and foster a climate of fear within affected communities.
Paank calls on the Pakistani authorities to immediately disclose the whereabouts of Fatima Baloch, ensure her physical and psychological safety, and either charge her with a recognizable criminal offence or release her without delay. Paank further demands an end to the practice of enforced disappearances and accountability through independent and impartial investigations.
Paank urges the United Nations, international human rights mechanisms, and the international community to take urgent notice of this case and press Pakistan to uphold its obligations under international human rights law.
Eleven more individuals forcibly disappeared from #Balochistan by Pakistani forces.
Paank expresses serious concern over the surge in enforced disappearances in Balochistan between 7–9 January 2026, during which eleven individuals were forcibly disappeared by Pakistan’s security forces in Kech, Hub, and Khuzdar.
On 7 January, Frontier Corps (FC) personnel raided homes in Hotabad, Kech, forcibly disappearing seven men, including students, shopkeepers, and a serving Air Force employee. On 8 January, Kaleem Ulah (40), a school peon from Panjgur, was abducted by the FC in Hub Chowki. On 9 January, Pakistan Army personnel detained Saleem Ahmed and Zubair Ahmed, a nursing student, from Naal Bazaar, Khuzdar.
Amjid Ali was forcibly disappeared by Pakistani forces from FC Canteen Kolpur, Mastung on 26th December 2025.
These incidents indicate a systematic pattern of enforced disappearances and constitute grave violations of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). Enforced disappearance is a continuing crime that places victims at serious risk of torture and extrajudicial killing, while causing deep suffering to their families.
Paank urges the Government of Pakistan to immediately disclose the whereabouts of all nine individuals, ensure their safety, and either present them before a competent court or release them unconditionally. Paank also calls for an independent investigation into the role of the Frontier Corps and the Army and for urgent international attention to the human rights crisis in Balochistan.
Paank strongly condemns the dissemination of a defamatory poster targeting 15-year-old Nasreena Baloch, daughter of Dilawar Baloch, a resident of Teertej in Awaran district, Balochistan. This minor student was forcibly disappeared on the night of 22 November 2025, when Pakistani security forces and intelligence personnel raided a house in the Daroo area of Hub Chowki around midnight, detaining her without warrant or explanation and transferring her to an undisclosed location. Her family has received no information about her whereabouts since the abduction, exacerbating their distress and highlighting a disturbing pattern of enforced disappearances targeting Baloch women and girls.
The poster, prominently displayed at the gate of the Press Information Department (PID) building in Islamabad, contains baseless and malicious allegations intended to smear Nasreena's character and justify her unlawful detention. Such propaganda appears to be a calculated effort by Pakistani intelligence agencies to fabricate bogus charges against her, further violating her rights and dignity. Paank reported her disappearance on 22 November 2025 and calls for her immediate and safe release, along with a transparent investigation into the incident. We urge international human rights bodies to intervene and hold those responsible accountable, ensuring the protection of vulnerable individuals like Nasreena from state-sponsored repression and defamation.
On International Human Rights Day, the Baloch National Movement organised a public demonstration outside the Dutch Parliament, writes @BZBaloch.

#EndEnforcedDisappearances
𝗣𝗮𝗮𝗻𝗸 strongly condemns the enforced disappearance of two Baloch youths, 𝗠𝗶𝗿 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗸 𝗤𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗶 𝘀/𝗼 𝗡𝗼𝗼𝗿𝘂𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗵 𝗤𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗶 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗵 𝗠𝘂𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗱 𝘀/𝗼 𝗠𝘂𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗱 𝗕𝗮𝗸𝗵𝘀𝗵, abducted by Pakistani security forces and CTD personnel from Quetta.
These incidents are yet another addition to the ongoing cycle of state-sponsored violence and systematic human rights abuses in Balochistan.
Enforced disappearances are a grave violation of international human rights law, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, to which Pakistan is a signatory. Despite repeated calls from human rights bodies, the state continues to act with total impunity.
𝗣𝗮𝗮𝗻𝗸 demands the immediate and unconditional release of all disappeared persons, including Shayak Qambarani and Saleh Muhammad, and calls on the United Nations, Amnesty International, and other international human rights organizations to take urgent notice of the deteriorating human rights situation in Balochistan.
The international community must not remain silent as Baloch families continue to suffer the agony of waiting for their loved ones who have been forcibly disappeared by the Pakistani state.
