In yet another brazen violation of human rights, Pak forces have forcibly disappeared a young Baloch student, Mudasir, 16, after his arrest in Turbat, the central city of Kech district. Mudasir, the son of Sabir Ali and a resident of Sangani Sar, Turbat, was detained by Pak security personnel earlier today and has not been heard from since. He is the younger brother of Advocate Shaima Sabir of the Kech Bar Association and a student of the 8th grade.
The Kech Bar Association condemned Mudasir’s illegal detention in a public statement, calling for his immediate release and safe recovery. In protest, the association has declared a one-day boycott of judicial proceedings.
This incident is the latest example of the Pakistan Army’s brutal suppression tactics against the Baloch community, a long-standing practice. The enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and the notorious “kill and dump” policy have become hallmarks of the military’s strategy to stifle dissent and silence calls for Baloch autonomy.
Military raids, sweeping operations, and harassment of the local population are part of a calculated effort to subdue the Baloch people, preventing any rise in nationalist sentiment.
Despite numerous reports by human rights organizations, the enforced disappearances continue unchecked, with hundreds of Baloch students, activists, and civilians falling victim to these ruthless tactics.
The question remains—how many more school children must disappear before the world takes notice and acts to end this systematic oppression of the Baloch people? The silence of the international community is becoming increasingly deafening as the Baloch are left to suffer under the weight of Army-sponsored violence.
