Balochistan Under Pakistan's Brutal Siege
The people of Balochistan in Pakistan are facing a lot of violence and unfair treatment from the government.
A recent report from 2025 shows that many people are being taken away without any reason and some are even being killed.
This has been happening for a long time, and the government is not being held responsible.
Families are suffering because they don't know where their loved ones are, and they live in fear every day.
The report says that the government is using these tactics to control the people and stop them from speaking out.
It's a very sad and difficult situation for the people of Balochistan.
Paank's October 2025 report documents systematic enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings in Balochistan.
In the first six months of 2025, there were 785 enforced disappearances and 121 extrajudicial killings.
The state uses enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and proxy militias to control the population.
Airstrikes are increasingly being used, causing civilian casualties and displacement.
The government operates with impunity, with no prosecution of perpetrators and criminalization of activists.
