Quetta, Jan 29 (NationPress) As the violence against civilians intensifies in Balochistan, a prominent human rights organization revealed on Thursday that two more Baloch civilians have been forcibly disappeared by Pakistani forces.

Condemning these acts, Paank, the Human Rights Department of the Baloch National Movement, stated that Ismail Malik, a teacher, was taken by the Pakistan Army on Wednesday in Kharan district while he was traveling with his vehicle.

He has since been moved to an undisclosed location, and his current whereabouts remain unknown.

Additionally, another civilian, Jasim Jan, aged 28, a laborer from Panjgur district, was abducted on January 21 from the Washbood area by a Pakistan-backed death squad.

Since his abduction, there has been no information about his whereabouts, leaving his family in a state of severe distress and fear.

These incidents coincide with a disturbing rise in enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings throughout the province.

At a seminar commemorating Baloch Genocide Remembrance Day, Sabiha Baloch, a Central Leader of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC), spoke about the various forms of genocide occurring in Balochistan, directly countering Pakistan's narrative about the BYC.

She addressed the issue of Baloch women who have been forcibly disappeared, including Farzana, Nasreena, Hani, Khair-un-Nisa, and a pregnant woman who was reportedly taken to a torture cell, stating, “This is the collective punishment we face. This is the 'definition' of the BYC: we are the ones asking for life. Is demanding the right to life a crime?”

Sabiha also pointed out the legal harassment faced by BYC leaders, including illegal detentions and the use of “fake FIRs” to prevent bail.

She criticized the Pakistani authorities for their actions, saying, “Your fake conferences, your system, your ministers, and your commissioners have exhausted all their efforts to prove the BYC is a terrorist organization. We have made it clear: The BYC simply wants life. You claim to bring security and development, but in your name, people are being killed, dying of hunger, and losing their land and sea. You have activated death squads that target teachers to ensure the Baloch remain uneducated.”

She asserted that Pakistani forces, under the pretext of 'Intelligence-Based Operations', conduct raids, loot homes, harass women and children, and forcibly disappear men across Balochistan.

“You carry out drone attacks on civilians and celebrate them. We call this genocide, and it is happening on our land every single day,” Sabiha emphasized.

She claimed that the brutality of Pakistani authorities has reached unprecedented proportions, which the people of Balochistan will never forget.

“You use fake narratives to erase our history and attempt to silence us through intimidation and legal manipulation. You were wrong then, and you are wrong now. We have already envisioned the day we will be free from your oppression, and then we will sit and cry. Now, we have stopped crying; we have claimed this struggle as our own,” Sabiha concluded.
