The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan today expressed serious concern at the disappearance of Baloch Student Organisation-Azad chairman Zahid Baloch, who was picked up by plainclothesmen in Quetta last month.
In a statement issued today, HRCP said it is seriously concerned over the case of Zahid Baloch who was picked up in Quetta on March 18 by plainclothesmen believed to be from security agencies.

Even more disturbing is his unacknowledged detention for over a month now, the statement said.
BSO-Azad members has been holding a hunger-strike outside the Karachi Press Club for the past 10 days to press for Zahid's release.
HRCP is extremely worried about risks to Zahid's life and well being in custody and urges the authorities that his detention must be immediately acknowledged and his release ordered. HRCP also demands that he must not be mistreated or tortured in custody, the statement said.
