In Balochistan, leading human rights organisations brought to light the extrajudicial killing of two civilians and the enforced disappearance of six others at the hands of Pakistani forces. Human rights body Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) mentioned that the dead bodies were forcibly disappeared by Pakistani forces.

 

Describing the extrajudicial killing as part of a broader pattern of human rights abuses in the province, the BYC said this situation demands that these incidents must not be ignored, as they raise serious concerns of crimes against humanity. The BYC called on international human rights organisations, the United Nations, and the global community to take note of the dire situation in Balochistan and to take effective measures against enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and violations of civil liberties while ensuring justice and protection for affected families.

 

Highlighting the atrocities against civilians across Balochistan, Paank, the Baloch National Movement’s Human Rights Department revealed that four youths, including a minor, were forcibly disappeared last night by Pakistani security forces during a raid conducted at their respective residences in the Panwan area of the Gwadar district.
