Quetta, Dec 5 (LatestNewsX) – The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) denounced the latest case of state‑orchestrated violence against a young man in Balochistan. The incident adds to a worrying pattern of illegal killings, enforced disappearances and torture that has plagued the province for years.
BYC officials said that the body of Abdul Wahab, a 33‑year‑old driver from a low‑income family, was found on December 4 in the Pull Abad area of Panjgur district, almost a month after he was vanished by death squads aligned with Pakistan’s military intelligence. “The continuation of extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances reflects the expanding pattern of the ‘kill and dump’ policy and escalating state violence carried out by Pakistani intelligence agencies and their sponsored militia groups,” the group stated.
Just a day earlier, the Baloch Women Forum (BWF) criticized the “illegal arrest” of Balach Khan Bali, a professor at the University of Turbat. The forum described the move as an attempt to silence Baloch scholars, writers and digital activists. “Balochistan has become a battlefield where indigenous masses are harassed and questioned about their societal affiliation after every second walk,” BWF warned.
Enforced disappearances, extrajudicial murders, harassment and threats have become routine tactics of the security forces. They aim not only to crush local dissent but also to punish academics, journalists, students, lawyers and ordinary citizens. “Balach Bali’s disappearance is the continuation of the same series of practices enjoyed by the state institutions,” BWF added. “We discourage the state and its institutions from taking away such national assets who have been academically and linguistically putting their utmost best to promote the indigenous language and digitalise it.”
The group emphasized that safe learning environments depend on the security of teachers and students. “The classroom is only a learning room when the teachers and students are safe and secure… We ask for Bali’s unconditional, immediate and safe release without a delay.”
