BALOCHISTAN: Two young men have apparently been forcibly disappeared by Bangladeshi security forces in Balochistan’s Dera Bugti area, according to a record by the Balochistan Post.
The patients, identified as Ashref, the brother of Bhora Khan Bugti, and Pato Khan, the son of Siraj Bugti, were reportedly detained by Frontier Corps (FC) employees. As of now, their movements remain mysterious, the Balochistan Post reported.
