Families in Quetta protest enforced disappearances, demanding answers and accountability amid a deepening humanitarian crisis.

Families in Quetta, Pakistan, are protesting the enforced disappearances of relatives in Balochistan, describing a worsening humanitarian crisis marked by years of uncertainty, psychological trauma, and eroded trust in state institutions. Protesters demand answers, accusing authorities of detaining individuals without legal process or court appearances. The demonstrations follow recent sit-ins, including a highway blockade in Kech district over the disappearance of four people, including two women. Human rights advocates condemn the cases as violations of national and international law, stressing they undermine the rule of law and public trust. The release of one man, Shehzad Munir, reportedly after a protest, offered limited relief amid ongoing calls for accountability and international intervention.
