Lahore: The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) called upon the Balochistan government to ensure safe recovery of 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 the lapse of 50 days, no progress had been made in securing the release of Eido. 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 serious concern that Eido might be tortured in custody and that his life was in grave danger.
