Violence against civilians in Balochistan persists, with a human rights organization revealing the extrajudicial killing of a civilian and the enforced disappearance of two others by Pakistani forces. The Baloch National Movement’s Human Rights Department disclosed that Fateh Baloch’s body was found in Awaran district after being missing for nearly two months. Fateh, a driver, was taken by Pakistani forces without any legal basis, leaving his family distressed and uncertain.
The rights body condemned Fateh’s death as a clear case of extrajudicial killing, citing signs of violence on his body that point to unlawful detention and torture. Additionally, Minwar Akhtar was forcibly taken from his home in Turbat city, while Zameer Ahmed faced enforced disappearance in Panjgur district. Another civilian, Yahya Baloch, was found dead in Panjgur district after being abducted by a Pakistan-backed group and FC personnel.
The Baloch Yakjehti Committee highlighted the recurring pattern of individuals being taken from their homes, killed, and dumped, emphasizing the urgent need for accountability and justice in Balochistan. Families are left in mourning without closure, underscoring the gravity of enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings in the region.
