Human rights activist Beebow Baloch expressed distress over the treatment of civilians in Balochistan, emphasizing that they are viewed more as a problem to be managed than as rights-bearing citizens. She highlighted the dehumanization of Baloch civilians and criticized the systemic neglect by Pakistani authorities, pointing out that resources extracted from Balochistan do not benefit the local population.
Beebow drew attention to the enforced disappearance of Baloch men by Pakistani security forces, describing a disturbing pattern involving unmarked vehicles and faceless agents. She noted the families’ struggles in seeking answers and the grim reality of finding mutilated bodies, indicating a severe lack of regard for human life.
The activist also raised concerns about the increasing targeting of Baloch women, viewing it as a deliberate and devastating shift in the tactics of enforced disappearance. She warned that this approach signifies a total dehumanization where no one, including women who are essential to family and future, is considered safe.
Beebow criticized the global response to the crisis in Balochistan, noting a shift from concern to silent acceptance, which she deemed as complicity through inaction. She questioned the world’s indifference to repeated atrocities and urged for a deeper reflection on the ethical implications of remaining silent in the face of such human rights violations.
