Paank Report Highlights Balochistan Abuses, Urges EU Action
Imagine a place called Balochistan where people are being taken away by the government without any explanation.
A group called Paank made a report that showed this was happening a lot in May 2025.
These people are being taken and sometimes hurt.
The report also talked about people being killed by the government without a fair trial.
Paank wants other countries to stop helping Pakistan with trade until they stop hurting people.
The report said these actions are happening because of the government's policies.
Paank's report documents 128 enforced disappearances and 27 killings in Balochistan during May 2025.
The report highlights state-led repression, unlawful detentions, and targeted executions by Pakistani security forces.
The organization urges the EU to reassess Pakistan's eligibility for the GSP+ trade scheme due to human rights violations.
Baloch civilians, activists, students, and political workers are increasingly subjected to intimidation and violence.
The report details cases of arbitrary detention and torture of Baloch figures and advocates for international intervention.
