In Pakistan-administered Kashmir, there has been a sharp increase in incidents involving the unjustified arrest of civilians, raids on private homes, and the violation of the sanctity of domestic spaces by Pakistani forces.
According to reports, forces conducted an operation under the cover of darkness in the Pul Munda area, raiding homes and causing extensive damage to property, which left the families in a state of extreme terror and panic.
During this unlawful operation, the forces forcibly abducted two local youths—Ehsan Mughal and Shani—from their home and moved them to an undisclosed location; they have now been subjected to enforced disappearance.
Sources state that since the youths were taken into custody, the administration and the forces have failed to provide any information to their families. The police and other relevant authorities have claimed complete ignorance regarding their whereabouts, effectively placing them on the list of victims of enforced disappearance.
The families of the youths, along with members of the business community, the general public, and leaders of the Action Committee, have expressed profound outrage over this situation.
Strongly condemning this unlawful conduct by the forces, they have warned that if Ehsan Mughal and Shani are not immediately brought to light and released unconditionally, a rigorous and widespread protest campaign will be launched across the entire region.
