Balochistan [Pakistan], February 4 (ANI): Paank, a Baloch human rights body, condemned the continuing pattern of enforced disappearances, illegal detentions and torture of Baloch civilians and cited the recent incident of abduction and torture of a Baloch civilian.
In a post on X, Paank highlighted the recent incident in Parom, Panjgur, where Azim, son of Jaro, was abducted from his home by members of a "state-backed death squad".
Paank noted that Azim was subjected to torture and later released.
"Reports indicate that the death squad responsible for this act is led by Bijjar Shambeyzai and operates with the backing of the Pakistan Army.

Paank expressed concern and said that the impunity with which these crimes are committed is "deeply concerning and demands urgent international attention".
