Baloch Yakjehti Committee release statement saying that in Kalat, Balochistan – March 3, 2025: In a concerning development, Pakistani security forces and intelligence agencies have forcibly disappeared 38 individuals from the Mughulzai, Giawan, and Khardan areas of District Kalat, Balochistan. The military barbarism began at 10:00 PM on March 3 and lasted until 1:00 AM on March 4, 2025.
This mass disappearance has intensified fears over ongoing human rights violations in the region and the systematic use of enforced disappearances.
Protests and Public Outcry
Following the incident, residents of Kalat and the families of the disappeared have launched a sit-in protest on the Quetta-Karachi Highway, blocking the main route. Despite the challenges posed by harsh weather conditions and the holy month of Ramadan, the protestors remain resolute, demanding the safe return of their loved ones and accountability for those responsible.
Demands of the Protesters
The protesters have put forward the following key demands:
1.Immediate and unconditional release of the disappeared individuals.
2.An independent investigation into the disappearances, ensuring accountability for Pakistani security forces and intelligence agencies.
3.An end to enforced disappearances and strict adherence to constitutional and international human rights laws.
Call for Urgent Action
Despite repeated calls for justice, Pakistani authorities have yet to respond to the disappearances or acknowledge the ongoing protests. The international community is urged to hold Pakistan accountable for its human rights obligations and to push for immediate action to locate the missing individuals.
As the protest continues, the families of the disappeared remain unwavering in their demand for justice, vowing not to relent until their loved ones are safely returned. The escalating crisis in Balochistan calls for urgent intervention to break the cycle of disappearances and ensure justice for the victims.
