Family members of the victims of alleged enforced disappearance continue to protest. Activist, Hanifa Baloch says that after the forced disappearance of her loved ones, her life has become miserable and under this sit-in, she demands the authorities to recover her loved ones. And until their loved ones are rescued, these families will be on a sit-in protest.
According to the Human Rights Department of the Balochistan National Movement (BNM), PAANK, enforced disappearances are occurring daily, with an average of three people being abducted by Pakistani forces from different parts of Balochistan every day, The Balochistan Post reported.
In a separate incident, a student named Mehboob, from a passenger bus in the Gwadar district of Balochistan, was "whisked away" by Pakistani security forces.
Following the incident, Baloch students blocked the road in protest, resulting in several passenger vehicles being stranded.
Speaking to the TBP correspondent, Mehboob's fellow students demanded his immediate release and warned that if their demands were not met promptly, they would expand their protest further across Balochistan. (ANI)
