In Kech district, Pak Frontier Corps (FC) personnel have assaulted and used forceful measures against the family members of a missing Baloch student, Farooq Baloch, who have been staging a protest by blocking the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) route at Tejaban.
The FC personnel beat and threatened the protesters, demanding that they end their demonstration within two hours. The protesters have appealed to the Baloch nation to support their cause, which has gained momentum across various parts of Pak-occupied-Balochistan.
The sit-in protest by Farooq Baloch’s relatives on the Kech Tejaban CPEC Road continues, with demands for his immediate recovery. Farooq Baloch was one of six students who went missing after being taken into custody from Quetta on May 28. While five of his companions have been recovered, Farooq’s whereabouts remain unknown.
In a bid to intensify their protest, the family blocked the strategic CPEC route at Tump, completely halting traffic. Meanwhile, a rally is scheduled to take place in Quetta, calling for the safe recovery of Farooq Baloch and Anees Baloch, another missing student.
The protesters have vowed to maintain their blockade of the CPEC road at Tejaban until Farooq Baloch is released, defying the threats and use of force by the security personnel.
