Another incident was reported from the Kech district. In the early hours of April 15, Pakistani forces carried out a raid in the Josak area of Turbat and detained Sher Khan Nazar, The Balochistan Post reported. He was allegedly taken to an unknown location. His family has called for his immediate and safe release, voicing serious concern for his well-being and legal rights.

Pakistan faces serious human rights issues, including enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, torture, and restrictions on free speech. Minority communities, journalists, activists, and the Baloch people are frequently targeted and harassed.

Security forces often act without accountability, citing counterterrorism. Women and religious minorities also suffer from widespread discrimination and lack legal protection. These ongoing abuses call for immediate intervention by international human rights organisations to ensure justice and accountability. (ANI)
