Family alleges Pak Baloch activist kidnapped

The family of a missing Pakistani activist who was involved in highlighting the plight of missing persons and the situation in restive Balochistan province, has alleged he was abducted by security agencies.
Abdul Wahid Baloch who resides in Lyari in Karachi has been missing since July 26 while returning from an event in Digri in Sindh province.
Baloch who worked as a telephone operator at the Civil hospital was also involved in helping Baloch nationalists and activists to publish their books, pamphlets and posters.
He also took part in protest rallies and hunger strikes by Baloch activists for missing persons and was known as a comrade.

The daughter of the missing activist claimed that her father had gone with a friend for an event in Sindh and were returning home when they were stopped by two men in plainclothes who inquired about their identities and later took away her father in a van.
She said that the family had approached the police to register an FIR but were told to wait for three days.
She said the family had now approached the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) and submitted an application for his safe recovery.
