Amnesty urges Pakistan to end impunity enjoyed by perpetrators of enforced disappearances
2018-03-21
[DAWN] Human rights watchdog Amnesia Amnesty International has called on Pakistain to resolve hundreds of cases of enforced disappearances for which "no one has ever been held accountable".

"Disappearances are a tool of terror... if committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack, they constitute a crime against humanity," Amnesty said in a statement issued on Monday, calling on Pakistain to "take concrete steps to end impunity".

Pakistain has had a history of enforced disappearances over the past decade, mainly confined in the past to conflict zones near the Afghanistan border or to Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
, where separatists have been agitating for independence.
