In yet another oppressive operation, Pak Army carried out a raid in Turbat early Thursday morning, detaining multiple individuals who have since been forcibly disappeared. This incident adds to the long list of enforced disappearances in the region, a grim hallmark of the Pakistan Army’s systematic campaign to crush Baloch community.

Among the missing are Dr. Zafar, son of Mohammad Raheem; Raheem Jan, son of Dr. Zafar; and Dr. Mohammad Kareem, son of Bahram. The raid also targeted Dr. Zafar’s guesthouse, where five of his guests were taken into custody. While one of the detained guests has been identified as Jabbar, the identities of the remaining individuals remain unclear.

Reportedly, the forces have abducted more individuals from the area, but detailed information regarding their identities or whereabouts has not yet surfaced. This brazen act of Army-sponsored terror underscores the Pakistan Army’s colonial mindset and its reliance on enforced disappearances to quash Baloch people.

Such operations are a strategy by Paki establishment to maintain its control over Balochistan through fear and violence. The Baloch people have long been subjected to a campaign of extrajudicial killings, abductions, and a ‘kill and dump’ policy—a horrifying reality that has persisted since the region was forcibly annexed in 1948.
