LAHORE – The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) called upon Balochistan government to secure the release of th HRCP activist Siddique Eido who was abducted in Gwadar by men wearing official uniforms on December 21 last year.
In a letter to the Balochistan chief minister, HRCP expressed concern that despite a lapse of 50 days no progress has been made in securing Eido’s release. The Commission said: “At the very least, statements of the four policemen of Pasni Police Station accompanying Eido at the time of his abduction must be recorded and they should be asked to provide as much information as they can about the identity of his abductors.”
HRCP expressed concern that Eido might be tortured in custody and his life was in grave danger thus any personnel involved, in any capacity, in abducting or illegally detaining Eido be brought to justice by the government.
