Quetta, April 6 (NationPress) Reports indicate that Pakistani forces have extrajudicially executed three Baloch civilians and have abducted five additional individuals in Balochistan, as stated by a prominent human rights organization.

The Baloch National Movement's Human Rights Department, known as Paank, revealed that the body of a Baloch student, Shayhaq Raheem, was discovered on Sunday along the Pasni Link Road in the Turbat area of the Kech district, showing signs of multiple gunshot wounds.

According to the organization, Raheem had been forcibly taken on March 31 from the Main Bazar area in Turbat by death squads allegedly supported by Pakistan.

Paank characterized the situation as part of a "concerning and systematic trend of human rights abuses in Balochistan, where individuals, especially students and the youth, are often forcibly vanished and later found deceased."

In another incident, the disfigured remains of 18-year-old Sabzal Baloch were located on April 1 in the Pelari region of Gwadar district, nearly eight months after he was reportedly disappeared.

Paank claims that Sabzal was taken on July 25, 2025, from the Talar Check Post, situated between Gwadar and Turbat, by personnel of the Frontier Corps (FC) of Pakistan.

The organization also condemned the unlawful detention, physical abuse, and subsequent death of another youth, Israr Baloch, in Quetta.

According to reports, Israr was apprehended by the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) of Pakistan on March 22 and later turned over to Military Intelligence (MI), remaining missing for several days. He was returned in a severely injured state, displaying evident signs of torture, and ultimately died from his injuries.

Expressing deep concern over these events, Paank has called for an immediate and impartial investigation into these incidents and demands accountability for all involved.

As the crisis of enforced disappearances escalates in Balochistan, another civilian, Abdulla Adil, was reportedly taken from his residence in the Kuddan Dasht area of Kech by FC forces along with other law enforcement agencies.

Moreover, on April 3, 18-year-old student Fida Taj was abducted alongside a friend by Pakistani forces in Kech, raising alarming concerns about the human rights situation in the region.

In their critique of the ongoing pattern of enforced disappearances in Balochistan, Paank noted that two additional civilians were forcibly taken by FC and CTD personnel in the Barkhan district on April 2.

The victims were identified as Noor Ahmed Khajani, an agricultural officer, and Noor Zaman Khajani, a local merchant.

Balochistan remains under the shadow of relentless violence, characterized by a rise in enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings of its civilians.
