ISLAMABAD: Families of missing Baloch persons on Tuesday staged a protest demonstration in front of the National Press Club against the government alleging that it had failed to fulfill its promise to recover the missing people.
The protesters were carrying photographs and posters of their missing relatives and chanting slogans against the government.
They called upon national and international human rights organisations to take notice of the increasing number of missing people.
Iqbal Baloch, relative of a missing person, said the demonstration was meant to tell people that the enforced disappearances had not stopped with the ouster of former president Pervez Musharraf.
Instead, he said, incidents of forced disappearances had once again reached an alarming level.
The protesters said the families of the missing persons would continue their protest till March 18 against the forced disappearances of Baloch people.
