Talal Akbar Bugti presents list of 650 missing persons to UN team


QUETTA: Jamhoori Watan Party (JWP) President Nawabzada Talal Akbar Bugti has said he has informed the United Nation Working Group on Enforced Disappearances about the situation in Balochistan and presented a list of 650 missing persons to the visiting team.

Talking to the media after a meeting with the UN group here on Sunday, Talal Bugti said he explained his viewpoint about missing persons to the team but did not expect much from the United Nations because it had its own interests.

Talal Bugti claimed that a total of 13,000 people went missing in Balochistan, but JWP did not have access to most areas and thus could not gain complete data about the missing. He said he had date about 650 missing persons which he gave to the UN group. Talal said he informed the group about the concerns of the people of Balochistan and was of the view that the group was now fully aware of the situation in the province.
