Human Rights Crisis in Balochistan: Rising Abductions and Protests

In Balochistan, a severe human rights crisis is unfolding as reports of abductions and enforced disappearances by the Pakistani military surge. Families are searching through rows of unclaimed bodies for their missing relatives, and the opposition in the Balochistan Assembly has expressed concern over the escalating situation. Recently, protesters forcibly took bodies from a morgue in Quetta and were met with police violence, resulting in injuries among demonstrators. The Baloch National Movement has urged for international investigations into the targeted killings of activists, while local human rights organizations document alarming figures, including 144 cases of enforced disappearances and 46 killings reported in a single month. Protests have erupted in various cities, including a significant demonstration in Khuzdar against state violence. The ongoing crisis has drawn international attention, with discussions held at the UN Human Rights Council to address the urgent need for global intervention.
