In yet another case of enforced disappearance in Pakistan-occupied Balochistan (POB), Pakistan Army raided multiple homes in Quetta last night, forcibly abducting tribal leader Nasser Qambrani and transferring him to an undisclosed location.
At approximately 2 a.m., Pak security forces, along with CTD personnel and intelligence operatives, stormed the Killi Qambrani neighborhood, targeting the home of National Party leader Ghafar Qambrani and activist Bebo Baloch. The occupying forces subjected the residents to physical abuse, spreading terror within the community.
Shortly afterward, another raid was conducted at the residence of 59-year-old tribal elder Nasser Qambrani, where he was forcibly taken into custody and disappeared. As of now, his whereabouts remain unknown. Family members reported that Pak forces not only abducted Qambrani but also brutalized the household, confiscated their mobile phones, and left them in a state of fear and helplessness.
This is not the first time Nasser Qambrani has been targeted. He was previously abducted by Pak forces on August 20, 2015, and subjected to years of disappearance before being released in June 2018. His re-abduction underscores the Paki establishment’s continued campaign of terror against Baloch civilians.
Nine More Missing
This brutal raid is part of the systematic oppression and violence unleashed by the Pakistan Army since its illegal occupation of Balochistan in 1948. Over the decades, the Army has relied on enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and torture to crush dissent and tighten its grip on the region while exploiting its vast natural resources.
The enforced disappearances in POB have reached staggering levels, with countless students, political activists, and tribal elders falling victim to Army-sponsored abductions. Just yesterday, nine individuals were forcibly disappeared from Nushki by Pak forces, with no updates on their status.
Meanwhile, in Mastung and Mangchar (Kalat region), families of missing persons are staging protests, demanding justice and the return of their loved ones. Demonstrators have blocked major highways, highlighting the Baloch people’s growing resistance against Pakistan’s brutal policies.
For decades, the Pakistan Army has used abductions, assassinations, and fear tactics to suppress the Baloch people’s struggle for freedom, while simultaneously looting the region’s natural wealth. By targeting students, families, and civilians, the Paki establishment aims to cripple the Baloch national movement and erase their identity. Despite these atrocities, the Baloch people’s resilience remains unshaken, and their demand for justice and self-determination continues to grow.
