QUETTA:
Following the directives of Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry, the police recovered three more missing persons belonging to the Marri tribe on Tuesday.

According to sources, the police said that they have recovered the remaining three persons namely, Gul Mir, Mir Jan and Amir Khan.

Earlier, the chief justice had directed the Inspector General of Police Balochistan and other concerned police officers to recover the seven missing persons who had been picked up from the Sayrab area of Quetta on March 1, 2012.

The court had warned that it will suspend the IG and others if they failed to produce the seven missing persons before the court.

However, there has been no confirmation by any senior police official about the recovery of the remaining three missing persons.

“Police informed us that three more of our missing relatives were recovered and we were asked to reach Civil Lines police station,” relatives of the missing persons told the media before going into the station.


“We met the remaining three missing people that have been recovered by police,” the relatives said after their meeting. They thanked the Chief Justice for taking interest into this serious humantarian issue.

Earlier, police had produced four missing persons before the Chief Justice during the hearing of the case about the deteriorating law and order and human rights situation in Balochistan.

The police had said during the hearing that they will produce the remaining three before the court by April 12, 2012.

It is pertinent to mention here that the relatives of the seven missing persons have recorded their statement before the Supreme Court Treasury headed by Chief Justice Chaudhry.

Four people including Hazar Khan, Mazar Khan, Malik Sher and Javed were earlier produced before the Quetta registry of the Supreme Court.

Voice for Baloch Missing Persons thanked Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhary for ensuring the safe recovery of missing persons. “We appreciate the Supreme Court and expect from the Chief Justice that he will also order for the recovery of hundreds of other missing persons,” he told reporters.

The VFBMP, an organisation striving for safe recovery of missing persons, demanded from Chief Justice to hold regular monthly hearing in Quetta so that relatives of missing persons who are living in interior Balochistan could come to Quetta on predetermined dates and record their statements exposing the lies of the concerned officials.
