The Pak Army has abducted eight individuals from Uthal, Jiwani, and Karachi, intensifying fears among the already oppressed Baloch population.
In Uthal, four students from Agricultural University Uthal—identified as Gulab, Balach, Bayan, and Nasir—were reportedly detained by Pak Army from the Uthal Bazaar. Their classmates confirm that these young students were taken into custody without any justification, and their whereabouts remain unknown. This targeted action against students highlights the military’s deliberate efforts to suppress Baloch youth and intellectuals, viewing them as potential threats to their oppressive regime.
In the coastal district of Gwadar, three individuals—Faqir Muhammad, his son Dad Muhammad, and another man named Darjan—were abducted by Pak forces in Jiwani. This is yet another example of the military’s attempt to disrupt and intimidate Baloch families in their own homeland.
In Karachi’s Lea Market, a rickshaw driver, Sadiq Ahmed, son of Dil Murad and a resident of Kahn Gichk, was also forcibly disappeared. The extension of enforced disappearances to urban centers like Karachi shows the military’s unchecked authority and its systematic targeting of Baloch individuals, even outside POB.
The Pak Army’s strategy of enforced disappearances is not a matter of isolated incidents but a systematic policy to crush dissent in POB. By targeting students, families, and ordinary civilians, the Army continues to undermine the region’s stability while exploiting its resources. The international community’s silence and failure to hold Pakistan accountable have emboldened its military to escalate these human rights violations, leaving the Baloch people trapped in a cycle of oppression and injustice.
