The family said that the Pakistani intelligence agencies abducted Ramzan Baloch from Zero point area of district Uthal, Balochistan on 14 July 2010. Since his abduction the family has no information about his fate and well-being. 

“My brother is innocent. He was going from Mashky to Gwadar work but he was abducted on the way. Four years have passed and I still don’t know anything about my brother,” Said the sister of Ramzan Baloch.

The family held a press conference at the protest camp of Baloch missing Persons which was set up by the Voice for Baloch Missing Persons, an organisation striving for safe released of abducted Baloch activists. 

The family accompanied by Qadeer Baloch, the chairman of Voice for Baloch Missing Persons, said that they protested for the recovery of their brother in Islamabad and Karachi as well but nobody provided them justice. 

“We’re now once again appealing the higher authorities of Pakistan hoping that they will help us recover our brother Ramzan Baloch safely and immediately. He is the only breadwinner of the family. He has two little sisters and four children and they all depend on him,” The family said while addressing the media persons.

The family feared if prompt steps for his release and recovery were not taken, he might be killed under-custody and dumped like hundreds of other Baloch activists.
