According to the rules formulated by the Pakistani army, it is mandatory for all the male members of the districts from the age of 12 to appear once or twice a week in the local military camp for questioning. Moreover, the locals in many districts of Balochistan are not even allowed to organise funerals without the approval of the military, the people are required to take the army's permission to visit a nearby town to buy household items.

Furthermore, reports have emerged that the number of people missing from Balochistan has also increased, and the Pakistani Army is mainly targeting activists from Balochistan province. On the other hand, Baloch nationalists, forming many groups, have been fighting against the strict curbs imposed on the citizens and the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) projects that they say deprive Balochs of natural resources while giving few jobs.

As per an Amnesty International report, the commission received 3000 cases of disappearances of Baloch people. Last year, the Commission reported that it had received 7000 cases of forced disappearance since its inception, and it had resolved around 5000 of those cases.

It is pertinent to highlight that the Baloch students living in different parts of the nation are living in the fear of being murdered, tortured, or abducted.
