Highlights rising incidents of extrajudicial killings, torture and mutilation of Baloch people in Balochistan
Balochistan: The Baloch Yakjehti Committee, the main Baloch human rights organization, brought attention to the increase in extrajudicial executions, torture, and mutilation of Baloch people on Wednesday.
Shukrullah and Nadeem Baloch, two Baloch citizens of Panjgur, were arrested by Frontier Corps members, according to a post on X. “Two days later, Shukrullah’s mutilated dead body was found, and Nadeem was discovered critically injured in the district Surab area,” read the message.
The predicament of the victims’ relatives was also brought to light, as they “were allegedly threatened and pressured by intelligence agencies to remain silent and bury the deceased quietly in order to avoid further persecution.”
The Baloch Yakjehti Committee made a forceful plea to oppose the “kill and dump policy” and these unlawful deaths.
“Mutilated body discoveries have become commonplace, serving as a sobering reminder of the Baloch ethnic cleansing and genocide. “The indiscriminate violence of the state must be condemned by all of humanity,” the post ended.
The Baloch Yakjehti Committee previously reported on Monday that forced disappearances, detentions, and kidnappings under the guise of security are still on the rise in Balochistan.
According to a post on X by BYC, Frontier Corps has been responsible for sixteen disappearances in Gwadar in recent days.
State persecution, enforced disappearances, and arbitrary executions of activists, academics, and citizens are only a few of the many problems facing Balochistan. Economic neglect plagues the area, which also lacks basic infrastructure, political sovereignty, and development.
BYC organizer Mahrang Baloch has said that Balochistan is still one of the most hazardous areas for human rights, citing the kidnapping of Baloch lady Asma Baloch.
