Enforced disappearances is not only an issue in Sindh but in the other provinces of Pakistan as well, however the number of victims have escalated in Sindh. Recently there has been a big wave of abductions by police, rangers and Pakistani agencies and in the last few months alone more than 91 Sindhis are abducted in Pakistan.
