The Pakistan Human Rights Commission (PHRC) has recently reported an increase in public outrage in Balochistan due to forced disappearances. The commission has stated that the number of enforced disappearances in the province has reached an alarming level, with many individuals being abducted and detained by state security forces without any legal justification. The situation has led to widespread protests and demonstrations by the Baloch community, who are demanding that the government take immediate action to address this issue.
The PHRC has also highlighted the fact that the families of the disappeared persons are facing immense psychological and emotional trauma, as they are left in a state of uncertainty about the fate of their loved ones. The commission has called on the government to take steps to ensure that all cases of enforced disappearances are thoroughly investigated and that those responsible are held accountable. It has also urged the government to provide support and assistance to the families of the disappeared persons, including access to legal aid and counseling services.
The issue of enforced disappearances in Balochistan is not a new one, and it has been a source of tension between the Baloch community and the state for many years. The situation has been exacerbated by the ongoing insurgency in the province, which has led to a heavy-handed response from state security forces. The PHRC has warned that if immediate action is not taken to address this issue, it could lead to further unrest and instability in the region. It is therefore imperative that the government takes swift and decisive action to address this issue, and ensure that the rights of all citizens are protected.
