This is the best summary I could come up with:
Pakistani police fired tear gas and water cannons to disperse female-led protests in Islamabad on Thursday.
This was sparked by the death of a Baloch man whose relatives allege was shot dead while in police custody.
The protesters were prevented from entering the Red Zone, which houses executive, judicial and legislative buildings in Islamabad, by police officers bearing batons and wearing protective head gear.
Videos posted on social media show chaotic scenes of officers bundling protestors into police vehicles.
So-called enforced disappearances in Balochistan - Pakistan’s largest province - refer to undeclared arrests allegedly made by intelligence services, that cannot be traced by courts and are not acknowledged by the government.
Over the years, many Baloch women have sought justice for their missing loved ones and to bring the issue to global attention.
