KARACHI, Jan 5: The family and relatives of Gowaram Saleh, a Baloch activist alleged to have been picked up by law-enforcement agencies’ personnel on August 8, 2004 from Talhar check post, near Turbat, continued their token hunger strike outside the Karachi Press Club on Friday, demanding his immediate release.

According to the family, belonging to District Kech of Makran region, there has been no report of his whereabouts since his ‘abduction’. His name is also included in the HRCP’s list of the victims of ‘enforced disappearance’.

Activists of Baloch and Sindhi nationalist parties visited the camp to express their solidarity with the family and expressed their concern over the government’s indifferent attitude towards the calls for producing the detainees before courts.

The protesters urged all national and international human rights organisations to take up the issue with the Pakistan government.—PPI
