Geneva, April 6 (ANI): PAANK, the human-rights wing of the Baloch National Movement, has denounced 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, with assistance from other law-enforcement agencies. The organisation said the incident at his residence reflects a continuing pattern of unlawful detentions and disappearances across the region.
PAANK’s statement called enforced disappearance a grave violation of fundamental human rights and international law, adding that the alleged abduction of Adil increases the number of unresolved cases in Balochistan and leaves families without information about the fate or whereabouts of their loved ones.
The group also recalled the case of 18-year-old Sabzal Baloch, whom PAANK says was forcibly disappeared by Frontier Corps personnel at the Talar Check Post on July 25, 2025. Sabzal’s body was recovered in the Pelari area of Gwadar on April 1, 2026, after 8 months and 7 days, in what PAANK described as a suspected extrajudicial killing.
PAANK and other activists say enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings in Balochistan amount to a serious human-rights crisis. Families often search for missing relatives for years while activists accuse security agencies of unlawful detentions and staged encounters. Despite protests and reports from rights groups, accountability remains rare, and unresolved cases have fueled fear, anger and deep mistrust between the state and the Baloch community.
