]]> The mother of a man, who was allegedly abducted by Sindh Rangers in 2015, said that at least his body should be returned to them if he is dead.

“We have been looking for him for the last 8 years. If he is dead, at least return his body to us,” the mother said outside the Sindh High Court as the cases related to missing persons were being heard in the provincial court.

“My son Furqan has been missing since 2015,” said the mother, while adding that “the Sindh Rangers picked him up from Nagan Chowrangi and since then they have no clue about his whereabouts”.

“We have been going to police and courts for the last 8 years but we have heard nothing about his whereabouts. No one is helping us,” she lamented.

“If he is dead, at least return his body to us,” she said.

“There are no charges against him,” added the brother of the missing person, who is also an eyewitness in the case.

“This has been declared a case of an enforced disappearance and his production order has also been issued by the Commission (for missing persons),” he said.

“But their orders have not been followed,” he added.

“Is there anyone who can make them accountable?” he questioned.

“We have even requested them to at least return his body if he is dead so we can bury him with Islamic rites,” he concluded.

People being forcibly disappeared is a longstanding issue in Pakistan.

According to a report released by the Commission of Inquiry on Enforced Disappearances (COIOED) in July 2022, a total of 8,696 cases of missing persons have been reported. While 6,513 of these cases have been solved, 2,219 are still pending. Among the missing persons, the majority of people are from Baloch and Pashtun ethnicities.

However, human rights activists claim the number is much higher than this.

]]> Netizens have criticised Sindh Rangers for hitting a motorcyclist with their speeding vehicle and beating him up.

In a video doing rounds on social media, it can be seen that Sindh Rangers’ speeding vehicle hit a motorcyclist. After hitting him, three officers of the law enforcement agency got out of the vehicle and started beating the man up.

The incident is said to have taken place in Karachi.

Social media users have condemned the incident, saying whatever the reasons might be, the officials should not have taken law into their own hands.

“Sheer disgrace and violation of human rights,” one social media user said.

“Where is the law?” questioned Pashtun Tahfauz Movement’s Manzoor Pashteen.
