Great Regulars: It started off in the same way that you see

with American military involvement in a lot of countries under the guise of fighting terror or protecting interests, they'd come in, say so and so has terror links, and they'd take them to Guantanamo. However, the Pakistani government, once the American government stopped shipping people to Guantanamo with enthusiasm, decided this was a very convenient way to deal with their problems. In Balochistan Province you have anywhere between five to eight thousand people disappeared--that's an incredibly high number. As you said they are activists, professors, political workers, poets, they are picked up and taken and for no reason. Their families don't know where they are; we don't discuss this in the media.
