In its latest consecutive posts, Paank has highlighted several cases of enforced disappearances in Balochistan.

Enforced disappearances continue to be a serious and unresolved issue in Balochistan.

According to past reports by Dawn, the Voice for Baloch Missing Persons (VBMP) has stated that, despite years of protests, sit-ins and rallies, the plight of political activists, students and ordinary residents who have gone missing remains largely unaddressed.

Furthermore, Dawn reported that the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP), following a recent fact-finding mission to the province, revealed that enforced disappearances, along with other human rights violations, are exacerbating public alienation and contributing to political instability in Balochistan.

The continued prevalence of such practices underscores a deepening crisis in governance and accountability within the region, raising serious concerns for both human rights and long-term peace.

Despite mounting evidence and widespread reports, Pakistani authorities have consistently denied involvement in enforced disappearances, often dismissing claims as politically motivated or unverified.

This denial has further complicated efforts to hold perpetrators accountable, leaving victims' families without justice and fuelling continued mistrust between the state and the local population. (ANI)
