For the third consecutive day, protests have gripped Quetta as citizens demand the safe recovery of 10-year-old Muhammad Musawir, who was abducted earlier this week. Demonstrators accuse the occupied-authorities, including the police and the puppet provincial government, of negligence and failure to act decisively.

Gathering at the city’s central square on Monday afternoon, protesters chanted slogans against the occupied-authority, demanding immediate action to rescue the child. The boy’s family has expressed deep anguish, criticizing the lack of effective measures and highlighting the indifference to their plight.

This heartbreaking incident is a part of a broader pattern of systemic oppression and collective punishment by the Pakistan Army in Pak-occupied-Balochistan. Since forceful occupation of POB in 1948, the Pakistan Army has employed abductions, intimidation, and violent coercion as tools to suppress the Baloch people. This strategy aims to instill fear and silence dissent within local communities, echoing the military’s long-standing policy of collective punishment.

Since the forced annexation of POB in 1948, the Pak military has been executing a brutal “kill and dump” policy, where abducted individuals are tortured, killed, and their bodies discarded to terrorize the population. The abduction of children, like Muhammad Musawir, underscores the depths to which the Paki establishment has fallen in its attempts to maintain control over the resource-rich region.
