According to a statement by the Baloch Human Rights Organisation, two of the women were abducted from Pirandar Zelag area of Awaran. The organisation demanded their immediate and safe release.
The rights organisation also said that Sakina’s teenage sons were abducted earlier this week and called HR Minister Shireen Mazari to take steps to ensure their return.
An activist stated on Twitter that such incidents were the reason why they protested for missing persons and called for an end to enforced disappearances.
