Pakistani security forces have extrajudicially killed three more civilians in Balochistan, the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) stated on Thursday, 24 September 2026, in the latest documented incident of alleged state-backed violence against the province's residents. The deaths — a teacher and two farmers — form part of what the rights body describes as a deepening pattern of enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings targeting ordinary Baloch citizens.

The Case of Abdul Khaliq

Abdul Khaliq, a 28-year-old teacher, was reportedly killed on 21 September inside his home in the Gowani area of Gresha in Khuzdar district, according to the BYC. The rights body alleged that Pakistan-backed death squads carried out the killing, and condemned it in unusually direct terms. 'The case of Abdul Khaliq reflects a broader continuation of extrajudicial killings of common Baloch intellectuals at the hands of government-backed militias. Obviously, educators and peaceful dissidents of Baloch have often been prime targets of the Pakistani government,' the BYC stated. Notably, the targeting of educators and intellectuals has been a recurring feature in documented cases from the province, suggesting a deliberate pattern rather than isolated incidents.

Two Farmers Found Dead After Months of Disappearance

In a separate case, the bodies of two farmers — Munir Ahmad, 33, and Safar Khan, 31 — were discovered dumped at Mashkay Cross on 17 September, reportedly after both men had been missing for several months. According to the BYC, Munir was forcibly disappeared on 18 February 2026 by Pakistan's Frontier Corps (FC) from the Basima area in Washuk district. 'A man who left home to work in his fields was forcibly disappeared and, seven months later, returned to his family only as a body. This is not justice,' the BYC said. Safar Khan was allegedly disappeared in March 2026 by the FC from the same area in Washuk, before also being killed. The BYC noted: 'Six months of enforced disappearance. Six months of unanswered questions. And finally, a dead body instead of a son returning home. Safar Khan was not given the right to appear before a court. He was not given due process.'

A Province Under Pressure

This latest round of documented deaths comes against a broader backdrop of worsening rights conditions in Balochistan. Human rights observers have long flagged the province as a zone of persistent enforced disappearances, fake encounters, and targeted killings. The BYC has been at the forefront of documenting such cases, although Pakistani authorities have not commented publicly on the specific allegations raised in this instance. This is not an isolated report — similar accounts have been raised repeatedly before UN human rights forums and international advocacy groups, with little verifiable accountability to date.

International Pressure Called For

The BYC has appealed to international human rights organisations and advocates to press Pakistani authorities to ensure the safety and security of civilians in Balochistan. The call mirrors previous appeals from the same organisation, which have so far yielded limited measurable response from Islamabad. With three more deaths now on record, the pressure on the international community to act — or explain its inaction — grows sharper.
