Amnesty International South Asia has published reports highlighting enforced disappearances in Pakistan on the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances, a day to raise awareness about this ongoing human rights crisis. Families continue to wait for the safe return of their loved ones, many of whom have been missing for years.
Baloch families are among the victims. Cousins Muhammad Asif and Rasheed Baloch were abducted during a picnic on 31 August 2018. Despite pursuing justice through the courts, a 2023 Commission of Inquiry on Enforced Disappearances report confirmed that neither cousin was found in the custody of any government institution.
Mahjabeen Baloch, a 23-year-old student, was forcibly disappeared from her hostel on 29 May 2025, just five days after her brother Younus Baloch was also abducted. Their family, including parents and sister, remain without information about their whereabouts.
Other cases include Sarwech Sargani, abducted from his Karachi home on 12 August 2025 alongside his mother, who reported being assaulted by individuals in Rangers’ uniforms. Authorities suspect the disappearance was linked to her activism.
Muhammad Ibrar, 17 at the time of his abduction in 2018, remains missing despite a production order issued in 2022. University professor Muhammad Awais, a father of two, disappeared in 2016; his daughters, now aged 10 and 13, continue to wait for news of him.
Construction worker Sadiq Amin was abducted in March 2021, mirroring the earlier disappearance of his brother, Zahid Amin, in 2014. Their remaining brother campaigns tirelessly for their return.
Amnesty International calls on Pakistani authorities to end enforced disappearances and disclose the whereabouts of all victims. Families continue to endure distress and uncertainty, highlighting the urgent need for justice.
Enforced disappearances remain a critical human rights concern, with international attention focused on ensuring accountability.
