Pakistani paramilitary forces have reportedly detained two young men in Balochistan’s Mastung district and taken them to an undisclosed location, with their current whereabouts remaining unknown. According to local sources, the incident took place on May 29 when personnel from the Frontier Corps (FC) apprehended Bismillah, son of Ghulam Sarwar, and Samiullah, son of Muhammad Hanif, both residents of the Pringabad area of Mastung. The two men were traveling from Mastung to Mangocher at the time of their detention.
Since their arrest, there has been no information on the fate or location of Bismillah and Samiullah, raising serious concerns among their families and local rights advocates. The families have expressed distress over the lack of communication and transparency regarding the whereabouts of the detainees, fearing possible enforced disappearance.
This incident contributes to the ongoing pattern of enforced disappearances in Balochistan, where security forces are frequently accused of detaining individuals without due process. Human rights organizations have repeatedly called for accountability, urging authorities to either release these individuals or provide legal justification for their detention, in accordance with international human rights standards.
