Geneva [Switzerland], April 6 (ANI): PAANK, the human-rights wing of the Baloch National Movement, has strongly condemned the reported enforced disappearance of Abdulla Adil, who was allegedly taken from his home in the Kuddan Dasht area of Kech district on Sunday.
In a post on X, PAANK said credible reports indicate Adil was forcibly removed by personnel identified as members of the Frontier Corps, assisted by other law enforcement agencies. The group said the incident at his residence underscores a continuing pattern of unlawful detentions and enforced disappearances in the region.
PAANK’s statement warned that enforced disappearances are a serious violation of fundamental human rights and international law and noted that the alleged abduction of Adil adds to growing cases in Balochistan, leaving families without information about the fate or whereabouts of loved ones.
The group also recalled the death of 18-year-old Sabzal Baloch, who it says was forcibly disappeared by Frontier Corps personnel in July 2025 and whose body was recovered in Gwadar on April 1, 2026, in what PAANK described as a suspected extrajudicial killing. Sabzal, from a poor family, was reportedly taken from the Talar Check Post on July 25, 2025. After 8 months and 7 days of disappearance, his body was found in the Pelari area of Gwadar.
PAANK and other activists say enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings in Balochistan constitute a grave human-rights crisis. Families often search for missing relatives for years while activists blame security agencies for unlawful detentions and staged encounters. Despite protests and rights-group reports, accountability is rare, and unresolved cases fuel fear, anger, and deep mistrust between the state and the Baloch community. (ANI)
