Relatives of missing persons start their “Train March” towards Islamabad.

QUETTA: Relatives of missing persons started their “Train March” towards Islamabad from Quetta here on Saturday.

The relatives will set up hunger strike camps in front of the Supreme Court and the National Assembly.

Twenty-three people, including women and children, led by the chairman of Voice for Baloch Missing Persons (VFBMP) Nasurallah Baloch are part of the march.  “We will establish hunger strike camps before the Supreme Court and National Assembly to force them to take notice of this serious humanitarian issue,” said Nasurallah.

“We will continue our struggle until all missing persons are produced before the courts. We demand that if an individual was in actual involved in any offence, he must be produced in courts because no law allows illegal detention”, he said, while accusing security forces and secret agencies of whisking away people in Balochistan.
