The Baloch National Movement’s Human Rights Department
“This killing is part of a disturbing pattern of targeted violence against educators and civilians in Balochistan. It must be recalled that Ayaz Baloch’s uncle, Khuda Bakhsh Baloch, also a school teacher, was extrajudicially killed on 3 March 2024. His mutilated body was later found at the Civil Hospital Khuzdar.”
