Pakistani security forces abducted four civilians amid rising enforced disappearances across Balochistan and Sindh provinces. Paank human rights organization identified the victims as Muhammad Hussain, a farmer seized on July 5 from Naseerabad district, and Zahid Ali, a Karachi rickshaw driver taken on July 17. Mesho disappeared July 19 in Dera Bugti during daylight hours. Paneeri Bugti, another farmer, vanished June 27 after authorities summoned him to Sui Military Camp. The organization demanded immediate release of all disappeared persons.

The Human Rights Council of Balochistan released annual statistics documenting 830 forced disappearances and 480 extrajudicial killings during 2024. These figures represent a 38 percent increase from 2023 totals of 601 disappearances and 525 deaths. Early 2025 data shows 814 disappearances and 365 killings within six months alone. Security forces target students, activists, women, and children without legal procedures. Torture marks appear on recovered bodies while peaceful protesters face live ammunition and arbitrary detention.
