QUETTA: The sister of Abdul Hai, who allegedly went missing from Awaran, on Sunday announced that if her brother was not recovered by August 16, she would hold a protest rally from the University of Balochistan to the Red Zone in Quetta on August 20.

Addressing a presser along with Mama Qadeer Baloch, the vice chairman of Voice for Baloch Missing Persons, outside of the press club, she expressed serious concern over the alleged forced disappearances of her brother and other people. She said her brother went missing on June 1 from the Awaran district hospital where he was on duty.

“For the last two months and 10 days we have no information about his whereabouts.”

She appealed to the security forces to recover his brother, who worked at the hospital as an operation theatre assistant and claimed he had nothing to do with politics.
