Quetta, July 31 (NationPress) A prominent Baloch human rights organization has strongly denounced the serious human rights violations perpetrated by Pakistani security forces against the inhabitants of Noora Mohammad Hassani village in Awaran District, Balochistan.

Paank, the Human Rights Department of the Baloch National Movement, stated that these violations, which encompass forced displacement, arbitrary detentions, and systematic denial of basic rights, illustrate a pattern of state-sponsored oppression that requires urgent international scrutiny and accountability.

According to verified reports received by Paank, on July 24 and 25, Pakistani security forces forcibly expelled the entire populace of Noora Mohammad Hassani village, coercing residents to leave their ancestral homes under extreme pressure. This mass eviction follows a troubling precedent set in 2020, when security personnel allegedly detained both men and women, subjected males to brutal violence at the Bugari Zeelag military camp, and later released them,” the statement from the human rights entity read.

“The individuals and their families have been forcibly uprooted, increasing their vulnerability amid rising inflation and severe food scarcity. The evictions have left them without shelter or means of livelihood, worsening the socioeconomic difficulties they already endure,” the statement continued.

Expressing concern, the rights group indicated that the circumstances in Noora Mohammad Hassani are emblematic of a larger trend of human rights abuses in Balochistan, which include enforced disappearances, extrajudicial detentions, and excessive force by Pakistani security forces.

“The forced displacement of residents from Noora Mohammad Hassani, combined with the systematic denial of their rights to education, water, and security, constitutes a grave infringement of international human rights law,” Paank asserted.

The organization reaffirmed its steadfast support for the affected community and urged the international community to hold Pakistani authorities accountable for these violations. It emphasized that the resilience exhibited by the residents of Noora Mohammad Hassani in the face of ongoing adversity must prompt global action to restore their dignity, rights, and access to justice.

In another troubling instance of enforced disappearance in the province, Paank reported that Kashif Yaqoob, a Baloch youth and the sole provider for his family, was forcibly taken by personnel of the Pakistani security forces from Saddar, Karachi, on July 29. Since then, he has been moved to an undisclosed location without any notification to his family, and he has not been presented before any formal court.

The organization’s ‘Balochistan Human Rights Report – June 2025’ highlighted the alarming violations occurring in Balochistan, particularly enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings. The documented cases indicate a clear pattern of state repression, where individuals are detained without justification and, in many cases, unlawfully killed by Pakistani forces.

It noted that the repeated occurrence of enforced disappearances followed by extrajudicial killings by Pakistani forces has become a hallmark of state policy in Balochistan. Victims are often apprehended without any legal process and later discovered deceased, bearing signs of torture.
