Shalee Baloch, from the Baloch Women Forum, spoke at the United Nations Human Rights Council, shedding light on human rights violations in Balochistan by Pakistani forces. She raised concerns about enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings, emphasizing the targeting of Baloch civilians as “terrorists.”
Balochistan, under Pakistan’s rule, faces severe human rights violations, with a surge in attacks on women and children. Shalee reported over 1355 cases of enforced disappearances and 225 murders in 2025, denouncing Pakistan’s actions against civilians as unjustified. She urged the global community to hold Pakistan responsible and investigate these abuses impartially.
The Baloch Voice for Justice condemned the recent extrajudicial killing of Israr Baloch by Pakistani forces, highlighting a pattern of disappearances and killings with impunity. Israr’s body was found in Turbat after months of disappearance, with no information provided to his family during detention. The organization demanded accountability, independent investigations, and an end to the violence against Baloch people.
The atrocities in Balochistan persist, with ongoing enforced disappearances and killings of Baloch civilians by Pakistani forces, indicating a grave human rights crisis in the region.
