Balochistan’s human rights crisis deepens with the latest revelations of Pakistani military brutality. The Baloch Yakjehti Committee documented two fresh cases of extrajudicial executions this week, spotlighting the province’s descent into state-orchestrated violence.
Detailed accounts paint a harrowing picture. Nasram Baloch, from Buleida in Kech, endured 18 months of hellish captivity. Snatched on October 12, 2023, he was tortured relentlessly, contracting hepatitis and sustaining lifelong wounds. Briefly freed on June 13, 2024, after family outcry, he was re-abducted on August 8 amid a home invasion that left his mother and sister battered. His body, riddled with torture evidence, was found Thursday near Maksheen River.
Simultaneously, 23-year-old student Aweis Baloch vanished from Panjgur on February 23. His corpse was callously discarded at the district hospital the next day. These incidents form a disturbing pattern, BYC warns, where security forces abduct, torture, and murder without accountability.
‘Protectors turned predators,’ BYC proclaimed, indicting the army for flagrant rights violations. In a fervent plea, they’ve implored the United Nations, Human Rights Watch, and Amnesty International for swift investigations. As Baloch voices amplify globally, the need for transparency and justice in Pakistan’s troubled frontier has never been more pressing. Will the world respond before it’s too late?
