They appealed to the civilised nations to intervene in Balochistan, urging them to take action to prevent further injustice and oppression faced by the Baloch nation, Balochistan Post reported.The participants in the Turbat protest also underscored the need for the state to reassess its policies before the situation worsens further.

Demonstrators accused the state of criminality, insisting that if the missing persons are criminals, they should be brought to court rather than forcibly disappeared.

Rukhsana Dost said, "Our demand has always been for the return of my brother. We repeatedly ask that if he is a criminal, then present him in court and prove the charges against him. However, even the courts are failing to provide justice to the citizens."Despite police attempts to halt the rally, protesters persevered, and incidents of obstruction by police and Pakist forces were reported, Balochistan Post reported.In Quetta, a protest was held by the Voice for Baloch Missing Persons (BYC) and the Baloch Yakjehti Committee, with demonstrators assembling at the Quetta Press Club.

The protesters warned of worsening conditions in Balochistan if the state and its institutions did not change their approach towards the Baloch people. They urged the state to tackle enforced disappearances, cautioning that the situation could escalate if their demands were not addressed, with the responsibility lying on the state and its institutions, Balochistan Post reported.Baloch student orgsations also protested outside the Islamabad National Press Club on the first day of Eid. They held pictures of the detained Mahal Baloch and other missing persons forcibly abducted by Pakist forces, criticizing the state for intensifying enforced disappearances in Balochistan, with not only Baloch men but also Baloch women being abducted in public.The students shared their fears of not being able to return home on Eid due to the risk of being forcibly disappeared.
