520 ## - SUMMARY
Summary, etc "In recent years, hundreds of alleged members or supporters of Baloch militant groups have "disappeared" in Pakistan's western province of Balochistan. Despite hopes raised by Pakistan's return to civilian rule in 2008, the practice of enforced disappearances, in which the authorities take people into custody and then deny all responsibility or knowledge of their fate or whereabouts, has continued unchecked. Human Rights Watch earlier documented militant abuses in its report, "Their Future is at Stake." "We Can Torture, Kill, or Keep You for Years" is based on over 100 interviews conducted in Balochistan in 2010 and 2011. The majority of the 45 cases documented date from 2009-2010 and show that Pakistan's security forces, particularly its intelligence agencies and paramilitary Frontier Corps, have targeted ethnic Baloch suspected of involvement in the Baloch nationalist movement. Abductions were carried out in broad daylight, often in busy public areas, and in the presence of multiple witnesses. Members of the security forces did not identify themselves, explain the basis for arrest, or where they were taking those apprehended. Often they beat the victims, dragging them handcuffed and blindfolded into their vehicles. In all of the cases, the evidence suggests the victims were tortured in custody, including through beatings with sticks or leather belts, prolonged food and sleep deprivation, and being hung upside down. Enforced disappearances inflict unbearable cruelty not just on the victims, but on family members, who often wait years or decades to learn of their fate. Many cases result in the extrajudicial killing of the victims. Human Rights Watch urges Pakistan to fulfill its obligation to investigate all "disappearance" cases and prosecute those responsible."--P. [4] of cover.
