Balochistan: Family of abducted Baloch student demand for his safe release

QUETTA: Hundreds of people joined the family of an abducted Baloch student in a protest outside Quetta Press Club to demand his immediate and safe release.

According to details the family of Nasir Baloch son of late Ghaffar Langov Baloch, the only brother of five sisters, have organised a peaceful protest demonstration outside Quetta Press Club for his safe release on 15 March 2018.

Mahrang Baloch a sister of Nasir told media sources at the Press Club that her brother is a student of Science College Quetta. ‘He has been abducted three months ago but we have no information about his wellbeing and whereabouts since his abduction.’

She said at the time of his abduction the FC (Frontier Corps) official told the family members that they were taking him for two hours to ask him few questions.

She said, ‘I have knocked all the doors and went from pillar to post in search of my brother but nobody is helping me.’

She said she was the first person to appear before the open hearing sessions of the Chief Minister Quddus Bezinjo to request him about the release of her brother but the CM has also taken no action to recover her brother.

She requested the media and other institutions to become her voice at the corridors of power and play their role for her brother’s safe release.

‘If there are any allegations against my brother, he should be presented to a court according to the constitution of the state,’ she added.

Another sister of Nasir Baloch held a placard which read, ‘I Lost My Father Gaffar Langov but I don’t want to lose my only Brother Nasir Baloch.  Please save him.’

Mahrang Baloch said because of her brother disappearance and absence from home her entire family was going through a lot of trauma and suffering. ‘Our father was abducted twice, subjected to brutal torture and later killed in custody. We fear that our brother might suffer the same fate as our father.’

At the end of her press conference, she said, ‘We appeal the government and judiciary to play their role in the recovery of our brother.’
