Apart from these, 4 mutilated beyond recognition bodies were also recovered. 2 of them were recovered from Panjgur, Balochistan. The bodies were totally decomposed and were beyond recognition. Political parties of Balochistan have showed their concerns that these bodies might be bodies of Baloch enforced disappeared persons because the bodies of enforced disappeared persons are being recovered from Balochistan time to time.
On September 20, Humraz s/o Ishaq was abducted by forces from Siyah Gazzi, Awaran. The next day his bullet riddled body was found. Other than this, on September 20, during a military operation, forces abducted many people from Dandar, Kolwah in which Sabzal s/o Sardo’s mutilated body was recovered on September 29, 2017. Such incidents are continuously taking place for last many years and have left their negative impacts on whole society.
The Representative of Baloch Human Rights Organization said that the operations of forces in Balochistan couldn’t draw media’s attention towards itself nor the human rights activists of Pakistan are raising their voices against these human rights violations. The people of Balochistan are worried about continuous military operations and means of education for students and financial means of people are getting limited and decreasing day by day. The local militias, backed by forces are looting the live stocks of local people.
The representative further added that forces’ policy of abducting innocent people and detaining them illegally to unknown locations is serious human rights violation. The abductees are not allowed to meet their family members nor are they trailed and provided their right to hire a lawyer and defend themselves.Civil Administration is also helpless in front of forces.
If the federal government and provincial government of Balochistan remain silent on these serious issues, than it is undeniable fact that forces will continue abduction and extra judicial execution of innocent people of Balochistan.
