Tensions in Pakistan rise as reports surface of enforced disappearances involving young individuals from Balochistan. The latest incidents involve Shayan Mengal, a Federal Medical College student, allegedly detained by security forces in Islamabad without legal documentation.
Families of the missing, including Mengal's and two others, have made fervent appeals to Pakistan's top leaders and human rights organizations. They urgently seek intervention to bring their loved ones home, decrying the lack of acknowledgment and transparency from authorities.
These cases contribute to a growing list of unresolved disappearances highlighted by the Voice for Baloch Missing Persons. The organization calls for swift government action, condemning the psychological toll on affected families.
