QUETTA, July 21: The Voice for Baloch Missing Persons (VBMP), which is struggling to trace the whereabouts of the disappeared people of Balochistan, has urged international human rights organisations to take notice of what it says the discovery of 178 mutilated bodies in the province.

It has said the two commissions formed by the government to resolve the issue has not made any report public.

Addressing a rally on Thursday that was stopped by the administration from proceeding towards the Governor House, Nasrullah Bungulzai, the chairman of the organisation, condemned the government move to place restrictions on the protesters.

He said that on one hand the people daily found mutilated bodies of Baloch activists and on the other “we are not permitted to express our point of view outside the Governor House”.

Mr Bungulzai asserted that his organisation had record of 1300 people who had gone missing over the past four years in Balochistan but federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik claimed that only about 200 people were missing. He said the Baloch people had no trust in the commissions formed by the government to investigate cases of missing people, adding that the commissions had failed to reveal the factual position to the people.

He appealed to the international community and international human rights organisations to come forward and play their role for the recovery of the missing people.
