Meanwhile, the Voice for Baloch Missing Persons (VBMP) continued its protest outside the Quetta Press Club for the 6,394th consecutive day on Tuesday.
Relatives of Abdul Rehman Marri joined the demonstration, seeking information about his whereabouts and demanding his safe recovery.
According to his family, Marri was forcibly disappeared from New Kahan in Quetta’s Hazarganji area on January 13, 2015. They said he had never been presented before a court and that they had received no information about his fate.
The family appealed to senior authorities to intervene, as highlighted by The Balochistan Post.
VBMP chairman Nasrullah Baloch urged the authorities to recover Marri and other missing individuals, stressing that anyone accused of a crime must be produced before a court and dealt with under the law, as reported by The Balochistan Post. (ANI)
