A young guy from Balochistan has vanished, adding to the scary rise in forced disappearances happening there.
The guy’s identity is being kept secret by his family. He was last seen in the area of Balochistan’s southwest, where things are getting really tense because of ongoing fights between local groups and the government.
This is just the latest in a bunch of similar cases that have made people really angry and scared in Balochistan.
Groups that care about human rights have been worried about these forced disappearances for a while, saying that the police are taking people away for no reason, like they’re against the government or want to break away.

The families of the missing are in a lot of pain, with many still looking for answers and trying to get justice for their loved ones.

The family of the missing guy has reported the case to local officials, but they’re worried that nothing will come of it, like it has for a lot of others.
They’ve also tried to get help from human rights groups from other countries, hoping they’ll get some attention for their situation.
As Balochistan deals with the problem of forced disappearances, it highlights the bigger issues with human rights in Pakistan.
Activists are pushing for the government to be more responsible and open, and for stronger protections for everyone’s rights and safety.
The international community is starting to pay attention too, with many global human rights groups speaking out against what’s happening in Balochistan and telling Pakistan to act now to stop these forced disappearances.
The disappearance of the young man has just added to the pile of unsolved cases, making people even more worried about a growing human rights crisis in the area.
As the search for the missing guy goes on, the need for justice and answers in Balochistan is getting more urgent by the day.
