Tensions escalated in Khuzdar after the family and relatives of the missing Baloch youth, Anees Baloch, took to the streets, blocking the main highway in protest against his enforced disappearance.
With banners waving and voices raised, the Baloch family has brought traffic to a standstill calling on authorities to take immediate action to release Anees and ensure his well-being. The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) has shown its support for the protest and urged people from all walks of life to stand in solidarity with the affected families.
Anees Ur Rehman Baloch, a resident of Khuzdar and a recent computer science graduate from Bahauddin Zakaria University (BZU) in Multan, was reportedly taken by armed personnel on the evening of June 4 from Pubg Hotel in Khuzdar., He was forcibly enforced by the Pak Army in the evening of June 4. He served as the chairman of the Baloch Students Council in Multan and is now among the thousands of enforced disappearance victims.
Enforced disappearances have sadly become a recurring reality in Pak-occupied Balochistan, where individuals like Anees Baloch are arbitrarily taken away without any legal recourse. These incidents shed light on the plight of the Baloch community which faces atrocities at the hands of the Pak Army.
