Turbat [Balochistan], The sit-in protest by families of forcibly missing persons in Turbat area of Balochistan province has entered its tenth day.
Despite their persistent pleas, authorities and state institutions remain unresponsive. Families say their loved ones are being held in undisclosed locations and deprived of basic rights and contact with the outside world.
The protesters, who include parents, siblings and children of the missing, have set up makeshift camps and have vowed to continue their demonstration until their demands are met. They call for the immediate release of their loved ones and an end to the practice of forced disappearances, which they say constitutes a serious violation of human rights.
Meanwhile, relatives of Bhadur, a Baloch student who was forcibly disappeared on Monday, have taken drastic measures by blocking the Makuran coastal highway at Pasini Zero Point.
The blockade is part of their demand for Bhadur's safe release and aims to draw attention to the growing number of enforced disappearances in the region.
The blockade has caused major traffic disruptions, highlighting the desperation and urgency felt by the family and their supporters.
They insist that such actions will continue until concrete steps are taken to address the issue and ensure the safety and return of Bhadur and others who have gone missing in similar circumstances.
Reports from local human rights organizations indicate a worrying increase in human rights violations in Balochistan, with enforced disappearances occurring daily. Activists describe the situation as a "Baloch genocide", pointing to the systematic repression and attacks against the Baloch people.
The international community and human rights organizations are urged to intervene and pressure the Pakistani government to address these serious violations.
Families of the missing seek not only the return of their loved ones but also assurances that such atrocities will not continue unchecked.
As the sit-in protest continues in Turbat and the blockade at Pasini Zero Point persists, the families of the missing remain steadfast in their quest for justice, refusing to be silenced until their demands are met.
