ISLAMABAD: As more than 100 Baloch students reportedly remain missing in the aftermath of a crackdown on their long march, the police on Sunday set up a \u2018special help centre\u2019 for the release of the incarcerated individuals.<\/p>\n

The long march \u2014 which started in Turbat on December 6 after the alleged \u201cextra-judicial killing\u201d of a Baloch youth by the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) officials \u2014 had reached the federal capital on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

SPP Abdul Haq Umrani has been assigned as the focal person for these matters and contact numbers have been shared with the public to lodge complaints, a statement by the capital police on \u2018X\u2019 social media platform read.<\/p>\n

According to the public relations officer, a dedicated help desk aimed at ensuring the \u201csafe release\u201d of detained individuals had been established by the police.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe special help centre is poised to play a pivotal role in facilitating citizens\u2019 immediate assistance and addressing their problems based on priority criteria. Concurrently, the Islamabad Capital Police were actively engaged in the ongoing process of releasing detained individuals in compliance with the law, with SSP Abdul Haq Umrani assigned as the focal person for these matters,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe special help centre will be operational for the next two days to guarantee immediate assistance and ensure the oversight of all actions for swift resolution and aid to citizens. The whole process will be overviewed by CPO\/ DIG Operations and SSP Operations Islamabad directly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn case of any citizen encountering difficulties, they are urged to contact the provided helpline numbers at 0519001521\/ 03459600622 or email at assistance.ictp@gmail.com<\/a>,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Separately, PPP Senator Raza Rabbani issued a statement in which he condemned the \u201chigh-handed and ruthless manner in which the Islamabad police has dealt with the long marchers from Balochistan\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe treatment meted out to women was not in accordance with Pakistani tradition and culture. There was no justification in arresting Balochi students studying in Islamabad,\u201d he said as per Dawn.com<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government must realise that these are not militants or terrorists but citizens who are protesting to be treated in accordance with the law and the Constitution,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said that the people of Balochistan continued to be denied their economic and political rights, adding that these needed to be guaranteed immediately in order to bring stability to the province.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuch an attitude [by] the state will further sharpen the internal political fault lines and sow the seeds of distrust in the younger generation,\u201d he said. Raza Rabbani said that the Senate should invite the state and all stakeholders for a dialogue to resolve these issues \u201cwithin the constitutional framework\u201d.<\/p>\n
