At least seven Baloch civilians were reportedly extrajudicially killed by Pakistani forces in Balochistan, as stated by prominent human rights organizations. The Baloch National Movement’s Human Rights Department strongly denounced the extrajudicial killings of Nadil Baloch and Sher Jan, two brothers from Awaran district who were victims of enforced disappearance by Pakistani security forces. Nadil’s body, bearing gunshot wounds, was found in the Kotu area of Jahoo in Awaran on March 8, following around four months of “illegal detention.”
The body of Sher was discovered mutilated in the Teertage area of Awaran on the same day. He had been forcibly disappeared on November 21, 2025, from Hub Chowki Main Bazaar by Pakistani law enforcement agencies. Paank expressed serious concerns, highlighting that these killings reflect a disturbing trend of enforced disappearances and subsequent deaths, known as the “kill and dump” policy, prevalent in Balochistan.
Paank also brought to light the killing of two young drivers, Niaz Baloch and Zakir Baloch, in the Paroom region of Panjgur district on March 5. The organization called for a thorough investigation into these deaths and urged for accountability of those responsible for the killings. Additionally, the mutilated body of Haleem Baloch, a shopkeeper from Panjgur, was recovered on March 6 in the Sarikuran area after being subjected to enforced disappearance.
In another tragic incident in Panjgur, lawyer Hammal Hassani was reportedly killed by Pakistan’s Frontier Corps on March 6 in the Koh Sabz Palantak area. The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) highlighted a distressing pattern where Baloch civilians are seized, taken to remote areas, and returned dead to their families, often without any explanation. The BYC also mentioned the fatal shooting of another driver, Umar Jan, by a Pakistan-backed death squad in the Paroom region on March 5.
Condemning the killing of Umar, the BYC emphasized the escalating trend of such killings without repercussions. The BYC called for urgent intervention by human rights organizations to address the situation in Balochistan and ensure justice for its residents, stressing the importance of speaking out against these atrocities to prevent further loss of innocent lives.
