Locals in the Quetta region of Pakistan on Thursday demonstrated in front of the Press Club against forced disappearances.

The protest was organized by Voice for Baloch Missing Persons, an organization working to find people who forcefully had disappeared, reports ANI.

“@VBMP5 Protests were held in front of #Quetta Press Club under auspices of Quetta Press Club, mothers & sisters from remote areas of #Balochistan came with pictures of their loved ones. But no one listened to them @MaryamNSharif  and  @RanaSanaullahPK. You forgot your promises,” tweeted Seema Baloch, one of the organisers, as quoted by ANI.

During the rallies, the speakers talked about the families of missing Balochs who are undergoing severe mental trauma due to prolonged forced disappearance of their loved ones.

The speakers criticised the government and the judiciary for their apathy towards the agony of the missing peoples’ families.

Several cities in Pakistan have witnessed similar protests in the past.
