Missing Persons: Relatives demand safe recovery

Wanted to register FIR against security forces, secret agencies but SHO refused to do so, says relative.

QUETTA:

Coalminer Norooz Khan’s niece has called upon the United Nations and international rights organisations to help ensure the save recovery of her uncle who went missing on January 10, 2012 from the Marwar area near Quetta.

“FC personnel kidnapped my uncle along with six others,” she alleged while addressing a news conference outside the Quetta Press Club on Monday.

While three missing persons – Buland Khan, Bara Khan and Dilmurad – were released within a month, Norooz is still missing.

“We wanted to register an FIR against the security forces and secret agencies but the SHO refused to do so,” she said. She alleged that FC personnel had restricted the movement of her family.
