Baloch Families Protest in Turbat for Missing Loved Ones

In Turbat, Balochistan, families of forcibly disappeared individuals have been protesting for nine days, demanding the safe return of their loved ones. The Baloch Yajjehti Committee (BYC) accuses the administration of deliberately harassing the Baloch community through genocidal acts.

The BYC’s statement claims that the state’s oppressive practices are designed to destroy Baloch society, calling it a violation of human rights. The statement also criticizes the state’s failure to address legitimate demands, labeling the situation as state-inflicted genocide and urging the international community to act.

Prominent Baloch rights activist Mahrang Baloch echoed similar concerns, stating that Pakistan is intensifying its policy of Baloch genocide, including enforced disappearances. She highlighted recent cases of mutilated bodies of disappeared persons in Panjgur and Soorab, Balochistan.

Mahrang Baloch urged human rights organizations to raise their voices against these abuses and hold Pakistan accountable on the international stage.
