Tension grips Balochistan following the recovery of 17-year-old Yahya Baloch’s remains in Panjgur’s remote Washbood locality. Vanished for five months in what rights advocates call a forced disappearance, his killing exemplifies the Pakistani military’s ruthless tactics against Baloch civilians. Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) broke the news, situating it amid rampant extrajudicial murders.
‘Ramadan offers no respite from these barbaric acts,’ BYC declared, calling on the United Nations and international NGOs for swift investigations and prosecutions. The province’s human rights emergency demands global attention.
Pank’s updates reveal a horrifying spree: nine ordinary people snatched recently. CTD raided Quetta’s Killi Kambrani, abducting 17-year-old Shoaib Ahmad Kambrani right from his doorstep.
In Kech’s Minaj, FC forces allegedly bundled away businessman Rahim Bakhsh (45) and teens Ali Ahmad (17), Yasir (19), Asif (17), and Abdul Rehman (18).

Balochistan’s saga of suffering underscores a failure of governance, where security forces operate with impunity. Advocacy groups rally for intervention, warning that silence equals complicity in this unfolding tragedy.
