“The main military sweep took place in the Awaran, Panjur and Makran districts of Balochistan. Hundreds of villagers were rounded up and interrogated. Many have since disappeared. Some were later found dead, with their mutilated bodies showing signs of torture,” added Mr Tatchell.
“Throughout the operational area, the military have imposed a 24/7 curfew, which prevents families leaving their homes to collect food and water and to tend their crops and livestock.
