Midnight crackdown in Pakistan: Six forcibly 'disappeared’ in Balochistan, families left in the dark
At least six people have allegedly been forcibly disappeared in Pakistan’s Quetta and Kech districts, even as the protest camp organised by the Voice for Baloch Missing Persons (VBMP) recently entered its 6,047th day, media reports said.
In Quetta’s Killi Sorab Khan Qambrani area, personnel from the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) and the Frontier Corps (FC) reportedly raided a residence at around 1 am on January 4, according to The Balochistan Post.
Local residents said four individuals were detained during the raid and taken to an undisclosed location. The missing persons were identified as Dawood Baloch, son of Haji Shah Bakhsh; Umar Baloch, son of Haji Shah Bakhsh; Naseebullah, son of Shehdad Khan; and a minor, Gwahram, son of Faiz Muhammad.
Family members said they have received no information regarding the whereabouts of the detained individuals since the raid.
In a separate incident in Kech district, local sources told the newspaper that Pakistani security forces conducted house-to-house searches in the Goburd area of Mand on the same night.
During the operation, two brothers—Sarwar and Hazir, sons of Bashir—were reportedly detained and later disappeared, the sources told the newspaper.
