Balochistan Horror: Tortured Bodies of Missing Men Recovered
Two men reported missing after detention by Pakistani forces found dead in Balochistan with signs of torture, sparking outrage.
The grim reality of Balochistan enforced disappearances has once again come to the forefront after the bodies of two men, who had been reported missing following their alleged detention by Pakistani security forces, were discovered in the Kech district.
Bodies Recovered with Signs of Torture
The recovery took place in the Saloi Kaur area of Buleda, where the deceased were identified as Yasir and Mehran. According to reports from The Balochistan Post, the discovery has sent shockwaves through the community as both victims reportedly bore visible signs of torture, fueling allegations of custodial killings within the region.
The human rights wing of the Baloch National Movement, known as Paank, has vehemently condemned these deaths. The organization provided harrowing details regarding the disappearances of the two men:
- Yasir: A 19-year-old student from Minaz, Buleda, who was allegedly snatched from his home by Frontier Corps personnel on March 2, 2026.
- Mehran: Who was reportedly detained during a raid on his residence on November 16, 2025, and subsequently moved to a military camp.
Paank has demanded immediate accountability and a transparent, independent investigation into the role of security personnel in these deaths.
A Decade of Silence: The Fight for the Missing
While the recovery of Yasir and Mehran brings a tragic end to their families' wait, others continue to search for answers in a cycle of grief that has lasted years. The Voice for Baloch Missing Persons (VBMP) marked a staggering milestone on Tuesday, continuing its protest outside the Quetta Press Club for the 6,394th consecutive day.
The Case of Abdul Rehman Marri
Joining the ongoing demonstrations were the relatives of Abdul Rehman Marri, who disappeared nearly a decade ago. According to his family, Marri was forcibly taken from New Kahan in the Hazarganji area of Quetta on January 13, 2015.
The family's plea is one of desperation and legality; they state that Marri was never presented before any court of law, and the state has provided zero information regarding his current status or fate. They have appealed to senior authorities to intervene and bring closure to their ordeal.
Demands for Legal Due Process
The systemic nature of these disappearances has led to a growing demand for the rule of law in the province. Nasrullah Baloch, the chairman of the VBMP, has urged the authorities to recover Marri and thousands of others who remain missing.
"Anyone accused of a crime must be produced before a court and dealt with under the law," stressed Nasrullah Baloch, emphasizing that the practice of enforced disappearances must end in favor of legal proceedings.
