The spokesperson for the Balochistan National Party (BNP) Kech while issuing a statement said that the CTD’s raid on the house of a Baloch woman Noor Jan from Hoshap and her subsequent disappearance was a blatant violation of human rights which would have serious consequences for the state.

He said that the attitude of state institutions was inappropriate in Balochistan. Which has always been questioned but instead of changing this pattern, it is creating more and worse conditions. Women, youth, children and elderly, no one is safe from the hands of law enforcement forces in Balochistan, BNP spokesperson said.

Baloch nationalist parties, student unions, rights and social media activists have condemned the enforced disappearance of an “innocent” woman.

A political activist and and medical student Mahrang Baloch said on twitter that “Collective punishment is practiced by the state to suppress the innocent masses and alleged them in fake cases”
