Quetta, April 3 (NationPress) A prominent human rights organization has reported that four additional civilians have been forcibly disappeared in the Balochistan province of Pakistan, intensifying concerns regarding the issue of enforced disappearances in the area.

These recent events occur amid a troubling rise in the number of enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings throughout the province.

The Human Rights Department of the Baloch National Movement (Paank) has vehemently condemned the recent abduction of a Baloch youth named Kareem, who was taken from the Joosak area of Turbat in the Kech district on Thursday.

“The abduction, which took place in broad daylight and involved armed men and unidentified vehicles, exemplifies a disturbing and ongoing trend of enforced disappearances in Balochistan. Such acts infringe upon essential human rights, including liberty, security, and due process, as recognized by both national and international laws,” stated the rights organization.

Moreover, Paank disclosed that on March 31, a Baloch student, Shayhaq Rahim, was forcibly taken from the Main Bazar in Turbat by death squads allegedly affiliated with Pakistan.

This daylight abduction highlights the pervasive atmosphere of fear and impunity that exists in the region.

Expressing deep concern for Rahim’s safety, Paank remarked, “Enforced disappearance severely violates fundamental human rights, including the right to liberty, security, and due process. These actions not only devastate families but also inflict widespread psychological trauma on communities.”

In another incident, a student named Noor Khan was forcibly disappeared on March 28 by Pakistani military personnel in the Pasni area of Gwadar district.

According to eyewitness accounts, Noor was abducted in broad daylight, raising alarming concerns regarding the ongoing targeting of students and civilians in the province.

Previously, Noor had also experienced a forced disappearance on December 6, 2025, in Turbat city but was later released.

Additionally, Paank reported that another student, Sameer, was abducted on March 20 from Gwadar by the Pakistani Military Intelligence (MI).

The organization further raised serious concerns regarding the ongoing disappearances of retired Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Bakhsh Sajidi, his brother Naeem Sajidi, and Engineer Rafeeq Baloch, former head of Sui Gas in Balochistan, over the past two months.

Mohammad Bakhsh Sajidi is the father of Naseem Baloch, Chairman of the Baloch National Movement, while Naeem Sajidi and Rafeeq Baloch are his uncles.

According to Paank, a significant contingent of Pakistani security forces executed coordinated raids on various residences in Hub Chowki, Balochistan, in the early hours of February 2.

These three individuals were forcibly taken without warrants or any subsequent acknowledgment of their detention.

“This incident is not isolated. It reflects a broader and systematic policy of collective punishment utilized by the state of Pakistan, where family members of political activists are targeted to suppress dissent,” Paank concluded.
