Pakistan panel disposes of 113 missing persons cases in September: Report
Pakistan’s Commission of Inquiry on Enforced Disappearances (CoIED) has disposed of 113 cases of missing persons in September, according to its latest monthly report.
The report, cited by Dawn News, said that 14 missing persons returned home during the month.
Since its establishment in March 2011, the commission has received 10,636 cases, of which 8,986 have been disposed of, while 1,650 cases remain under investigation, the report stated.
“The disposal of cases works out to 84.48 percent following the investigation of cases,” the commission said.
Between July and September 2025, the CoIED disposed of 289 cases, it added.
The report also noted that the commission has taken steps to support families of missing persons. These include setting up a dedicated cell to address issues such as the issuance of Form B for children of missing persons and the grant of pensions to families of government employees who have gone missing, Dawn News reported.
Last month, a civil society organisation urged Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi to review and strengthen the current mechanism for addressing enforced disappearances in the country.
