The report documents that Security Forces (SFs) forcibly disappeared 57 individuals during July, marking it as the year’s most tumultuous month. Furthermore, seven individuals were killed, and 22 who were previously reported as missing were released, with many showing clear signs of torture. However, the official explanation for their detentions remains undisclosed. The Dera Bugti District has been particularly affected, with 15 enforced disappearances.
