Paank, the Baloch National Movement's Human Rights Department shared the details of enforced disappearance of a Baloch man who had been involved in campaign for the release of his father, forcibly abducted by forces ten years ago.
He was beaten, blindfolded, handcuffed, and dragged into a military vehicle. Since then, his whereabouts have remained unknown. His family continues to live in a cycle of agony, uncertainty, and unanswered questions, Paank said.
