Questions raised on Pakistani government
Munir Mengal said, “Forcible disappearance of people is extremely worrying and inhumane. This practice has been going on in Balochistan for a long time. Thousands of innocent people have disappeared and there is no information about them. There is no way for the families of the missing people to Understandably, they are suffering greatly. This issue not only violates the most basic human rights, but also undermines the principles of justice and accountability on which the United Nations is founded.”
He further said, “In August 2023, Voice for Baloch Missing Persons has documented and verified reports of 56 cases of disappearance of Baloch people. This includes two women and 26 students.”
Munir Mengal said, “Dr. Deen Mohammad, Zakir Majeed, Zahid Kiurad, Rashid Hussain, Hameed Zehri, Taj Mohammad Sarpara and thousands of family members are waiting for their safe recovery.”
China is also surrounded
