Zubaida Baloch and her daughter in law Zarnaz were forcibly abducted by security forces on 29 April 2026 from Tejaban Kech.Since then, no information has been made public about their whereabouts or legal status, leaving their family in prolonged anguish and unanswered questions. This incident follows the killing of Daulat, husband of Zarnaz, on 18 February 2026 in an incident involving state backed death squads.The repeated targeting of this family highlights a continuing reality in which abduction of Baloch women is being normalized within the prevailing security framework raising serious concerns of collective punishment directed at civilian families in Balochistan. Urgent disclosure of their whereabouts and accountability for those responsible is demanded. The growing institutional acceptance of enforced disappearances of Baloch women signals a deterioration in rule of law standards and weakening of civilian protection mechanisms. It further indicates the use of coercive state practices amounting to family based reprisals, where entire households are subjected to intimidation and deprivation of liberty, deepening political repression and eroding fundamental rights guarantees. #SaveBalochWomen
