Balochistani Family Faces New Wave of Enforced Disappearances

In Panjgur district, Balochistan, two brothers were allegedly subjected to enforced disappearance. Their family claims pressure to denounce the Baloch Yakjehti Committee in exchange for the men's release, amidst a series of unresolved disappearances. The Balochistan Post reports the incident, drawing attention to a troubling trend in the region.

In Panjgur district of Balochistan, two brothers have reportedly been subjected to an enforced disappearance allegedly by Pakistani security forces. The disappearance of Tauheed and Abu Bakr, sons of Mohammad Siddiq, has drawn significant attention, as reported by The Balochistan Post.

The brothers were allegedly detained from the Khudabadan area on May 6 and subsequently moved to an undisclosed location. Their family has not received any information regarding their whereabouts. The incident has reportedly put pressure on Tauheed's wife, Adeeba Zaheer, due to her affiliation with the Baloch Yakjehti Committee, a rights advocacy group.

Adeeba Zaheer, under alleged duress, was made to hold a press conference denouncing the BYC as a condition for the potential release of her husband and brother-in-law. This demand highlights a disturbing pattern of enforced disappearances linked to the family, including previous incidents involving her relatives. No official statements have been made by Pakistani authorities on these allegations.
