The sister of a doctor who has been missing since June 1 this year has expressed deep concern, saying that her brother, a resident of Awaran Bedi, was working at the DHQ Hospital in Awaran before he went missing.
According to Balochwar News, a man named Dr. Abdul Hai was “forcibly disappeared” and said that he had been facing abuse in detention centers for the past three months, and was being punished for crimes he did not commit.
His sister expressed disappointment that despite numerous conferences, social media campaigns and peaceful protests during this period, the government has yet to respond positively to their situation, which she finds extremely disappointing.
“The disappearance of my brother and the lack of seriousness of the authorities is tragic and painful,” he said. He warned the authorities that if decisive action was not taken regarding his brother's enforced disappearance and if the current indifference continued, he would be forced to consider taking more drastic measures on behalf of the family.
Meanwhile, Voice for Baloch Missing Persons (VBMP) said that Dil Jan's enforced disappearance has been reported to the organisation by his family. Dil Jan, son of Allah Baksh, was forcibly detained by the Pakistan Army from his home in Mazharabad, Tirtej, Awaran on June 12 this year. The family has not received any information about his current location.
Besides, the family of another “enforced disappearance” person Din Muhammad Marri has shared details of his abduction with the VBMP. The family informed that Din Muhammad Marri, son of Murad Khan, was illegally detained from his house in New Kahan, Hazarganji, Quetta on August 24 this year and has been subjected to enforced disappearance since then.
Enforced disappearances are common in Balochistan and according to reports, more than 55,000 people are missing from various areas of the region. Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and many political and social activists claim that these disappearances are carried out by the Pakistani military and intelligence agencies.
