Tensions in Pakistan’s restive Balochistan province boiled over as BLF leader Allah Nazar Baloch publicly accused Chief Minister Sarfaraz Bugti of imposing a tyrannical detention framework. Via Truth Social, Baloch highlighted routine kidnappings—five per day on average—by law enforcement, leading to enforced disappearances that haunt the region.
His impassioned plea targeted international bodies including the UN, EU, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch, imploring them to confront the purported Baloch genocide. Labeling Bugti a stooge, Baloch decried the new law as oppressive, with camps evoking Nazi horrors and fueling a ruthless ‘hit and dispose’ strategy.
Turning to Baloch representatives in parliament, he lambasted their inaction: ‘Claiming non-violence while mute on state savagery makes you accomplices.’ Baloch positioned the freedom struggle as aligned with global norms, urging the world not to ignore the crisis amid multipolar shifts.
Spotlight falls on the ‘Balochistan Prevention, Detention and De-Radicalization Rules 2025,’ ratified by Bugti’s cabinet. This measure, slammed in editorials, aims to formalize disappearances by detaining ‘suspects’ under CTD watch, sidestepping courts and trampling human rights enshrined in Pakistan’s constitution.
Baloch renewed his call for global voices to amplify the Baloch cause, warning that history’s verdict will distinguish heroes from bystanders. As protests mount and families demand accountability, this policy risks igniting further unrest, challenging Pakistan’s grip on the resource-rich but volatile province.
