QUETTA, July 10: Kachkol Ali, Leader of Opposition in Balochistan Assembly belonging to the National Party, has appealed to the judiciary and human rights organisations to take note of the “extra-constitutional arrests” of the Baloch by intelligence agencies.

In a statement issued here on Monday, Kachkol Ali alleged that many Baloch nationals were arrested by intelligence agencies in violation of the law. However, they were never produced before the court, proving that they were not involved in any crimes, he added.

He said a few days back, the personnel of an intelligence agency picked up Ghaffar Lango and some of his colleagues from Mastung and took them to some unknown place.

The opposition leader called upon the provincial Public Safety Commission to play its role against the “unlawful” arrests.

“It is also the responsibility of the judiciary to take note of the extra-constitutional actions of the agencies,” he said.
