QUETTA: Members and supporters of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC), including families of missing persons, staged a protest on Sunday against enforced disappearances.

Before gathering outside Dalbandin Press Club, a number of protesters marched through roads of Chagai district’s headquarters, carrying placards and banners inscribed with slogans against government inaction.

BYC leaders expressed grave concern over the growing number of enforced disappearances in Balochistan.

The speakers also condemned the alleged abduction of a young woman, Asma Jattak, following an attack on her home by armed men.

They also demanded the recovery of Mubarak Ali and Hafeez Baloch, who reportedly disappeared from Kharan. The protesters also called for justice for Asma Baloch.
