Meanwhile, the central spokesperson of the Baloch Republican Party, Mr Sher Mohammad Bugti, in a statement to media said, “Women have the highest respect in Baloch society. The abduction of women and children in Balochistan could worsen the situation and Pakistani state and its army will be held responsible for the deteriorating conditions.”

Mr Bugti has also requested Human Rights Organisations to break their silence against enforced disappearances of Baloch women at the hands of Pakistan army.

Baloch pro-freedom political parties and HR Organisations say that Pakistan army and intelligence agencies have abducted more than 20,000 Baloch including women and children from different areas of Balochistan.
