In Quetta, a city in Pakistan’s Balochistan province, 20 bodies that had lain in a hospital for days were finally declared “unclaimed.” Local volunteers from the Chhipa Foundation and government officials arranged the burial at the Dasht Tera Meel graveyard.
Hospital staff said four bodies came from Mangocher, an area hit by recent security actions. Those people were named Gul Khan alias Yaseen, Inayatullah, Izzatullah, and Shay Murad. The other sixteen were left unidentified and were interred as unclaimed.
The killings have drawn strong criticism from human‑rights groups in the region. Activists and families of missing people say that many of the deceased were former people‑missing cases that turn up in morgues or mass graves. They accuse the Pakistani security forces of staging fake encounters and carrying out extrajudicial killings while labeling civilians as militants.
Baloch nationalist groups protest what they view as a state‑sponsored violence campaign, pointing out that innocent residents are often targeted during raids. Officials counter that the deaths happened during counter‑terrorism operations, citing a recent attack on the Frontier Corps headquarters in Quetta.
More unclaimed bodies emerging across Balochistan deepen public mistrust and raise questions about accountability. Human‑rights advocates call for independent investigations into these deaths and demand an end to enforced disappearances and unclaimed burials.
