Another Baloch student was reportedly extrajudicially killed by Pakistani forces in Balochistan, as stated by a human rights organization. This incident adds to a series of extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances in the region. The body of 18-year-old Zameer Dargarzai Baloch was found mutilated in the Washap area of Panjgur district after being missing for eight days.
The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) disclosed that Zameer was taken on March 3 from the Chitkan region in Panjgur by Pakistan-backed death squads. Condemning this act, the BYC highlighted the alarming trend of disappearances and killings of Baloch youth in Balochistan. The BYC called for international attention to address the escalating violence in the region.
The Baloch National Movement’s Human Rights Department also reported the extrajudicial killing of two civilians in Panjgur district. The targeted killing of 27-year-old Abdullah Baloch and 18-year-old driver Nazeer by armed operatives linked to death squads has sparked fear among residents. These incidents underscore the ongoing risks faced by civilians in Balochistan due to violence and insecurity.
Balochistan remains a region plagued by enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings of Baloch civilians, with reports of escalating atrocities by Pakistani forces. The situation raises serious concerns about the treatment of Baloch youth and civilians, prompting calls for urgent international intervention to address the human rights crisis.
