 Background

Balochistan, a sovereign state, was occupied by Pakistan on 27th of March 1948; since that day, in order to silence the voices for liberation and to instill fear among the general populace, Pakistan has employed a strategy of enforcedly disappearing people belonging to different age groups and occupations, of which only a small number has been documented in the list attached. The first people who were enforcedly disappeared were the friends and peers of Prince Abdul Karim, who were abducted in 1948, of which few were released and others are still missing, most probably murdered under custody.

Voice for Baloch Missing Persons rejects the claims of Pakistani Judicial Commission

Occupied Balochistan: The Chairman of Voice for Baloch Missing Persons (VBMP), Nasrullah Baloch, has rejected the claims of Pakistani Judicial Commission which was set up a year ago to trace abducted persons.

“The Judicial Investigation Commission was set up one year ago but during this period it did not visit Balochistan. They are only getting incentives in the name of abducted persons. The team headed by retired Justice Javid Iqbal is not a Judicial Commission in fact it is an inquiry committee; their work has been very disappointing.” Mr Nasrullah Baloch expressed these views during a press conference at the protest camp of the relatives of abducted Baloch outside Quetta Press Club. He was accompanied by Vice Chairman of VMBP, Mr Qadeer Baloch, and relatives of enforced-disappeared Baloch activists.
