Pakistan Army Kills 17 in Balochistan Within Three Days; International Silence Worsening the Crisis – BNM Spokesperson

The Pakistan Army is indiscriminately targeting unarmed civilians in Balochistan, and the silence of the international community has drastically exacerbated the region's multifaceted human rights crisis. In this week alone, 17 individuals have been extrajudicially killed. Enforced disappearances are occurring on a daily basis in the peripheral areas of Mastung, Noshkai, Zehri, Khuzdar, Kech, and Gwader districts, alongside the relentless shelling of civilian populations by gunship helicopters. The Baloch National Movement (BNM) strongly condemns this state terrorism. Pakistan is committing a systematic genocide of the Baloch nation, making international intervention an absolute necessity.

The central spokesperson for the BNM expressed these views in a statement addressing the recent surge of state terrorism across Balochistan.

Providing further details, the spokesperson stated that Occupied Balochistan continues to suffer under relentless atrocities and military aggression. On Tuesday, June 2, 2026, the Pakistan Army once again targeted the Zehri region. During a raid in the Bulbul area of Zehri, military personnel broke into the home of Khalil Ahmed Musiani, a peaceful political activist. He was shot, arrested in a critically wounded state, and subsequently murdered in custody. Concurrently, the military forcibly disappeared several individuals, including Zehri Khan Musiani, Shakar Khan, Sanaullah Musiani, Umeed Ali Khan, Dost Muhammad, and Irshad Ahmed, among others, whose whereabouts remain unknown to this day.

Elaborating on further incidents, the spokesperson noted that on May 31, military shelling in Kardagap, Mastung, resulted in the death of Ghulam Jan Sumalani, a driver by profession. On June 1, gunship helicopters shelled the civilian population in Kadd Umrani, located in the Kadd Kocha area. The full extent of the casualties and destruction remains unknown due to a deliberate communication blackout imposed on the area.

The BNM spokesperson emphasized that since the very first day of its occupation in 1948, Balochistan has been a continuous target of Pakistan Army aggression. The state's policy of crushing political forces through extreme violence and brute force remains in full effect. The unending cycle of enforced disappearances has socially and economically ruined thousands of families. Between May 31 and June 2—a span of just three days—the Pakistan Army explicitly killed 17 people, yet it actively conceals the details of the victims. In many such instances, previously abducted individuals are murdered in custody, with the Pakistan Army masking these atrocities as armed encounters to make false claims of counter-insurgency. Furthermore, the dead bodies of the victims are not being handed over to their grieving relatives.

The spokesperson asserted that the Pakistani state is actively executing a calculated policy of Baloch genocide. This is a gradual, systematic process designed to destroy a nation politically, culturally, socially, and economically. Dozens of villages across the districts of Dera Bugti, Kohlu, Awaran, Zehri, Khuzdar, Panjgur, Kech, and Gwadar have been completely ravaged, forcing mass forced displacement. As a continuation of this scorched-earth policy, the village of Panwan in the Jimuri tehsil of Gwader has recently come under continuous assault.

According to the statement, Pakistan Army personnel are conducting midnight raids on civilian homes in Panwan. Driven to the brink by enforced disappearances, home demolitions, and extrajudicial killings, dozens of families comprising hundreds of individuals have been forced to flee across the border to Western Balochistan. There, they face severe economic and social hardships as refugees, and dozens of children have been entirely deprived of their education.

In conclusion, the spokesperson reiterated that the BNM is utilizing all of its resources to expose the reality of the Balochistan freedom movement to the world. The party urgently calls upon the international community to officially declare Balochistan a war-torn, disputed territory and to intervene immediately. Without the restoration of Balochistan's independence, not only is the very survival of the Baloch nation at risk, but the establishment of strategic peace in this vital geopolitical region also remains strictly contingent upon the Baloch right to self-determination and national freedom.

One year ago today, Mahjabeen Baloch, a 25-year-old Library Science student at the University of Balochistan and a polio survivor from Besima, Washuk, was forcibly disappeared.

On 29 May at 3 AM, police and plainclothes personnel abducted her from Civil Hospital Hostel, Quetta. Her whereabouts remain unknown to this day.

Her brother Younus was abducted from their home just five days earlier. He was tortured for months before being released.

We demand the immediate and safe return of Mahjabeen Baloch. If there are any allegations against her, produce her in a court of law — not in secret torture cells.

The Killing of Professor Ghamkhwar Hayat Is an Attack on Baloch Intellectualism: Dr. Naseem Baloch

The Chairman of the Baloch National Movement, Dr. Naseem Baloch, strongly condemned the killing of researcher, poet, writer, and teacher Professor Ghamkhwar Hayat, stating that this tragic incident is part of and a continuation of the ongoing Baloch genocide and collective punishment in Balochistan.

He said that fifteen years ago, in a similar attack, the state targeted and assassinated the renowned poet, researcher, and intellectual Professor Saba Dashtyari. “We pay tribute to Ghamkhwar Hayat for his martyrdom, sacrifice, and his immense literary contributions and intellectual efforts. He was the author of nearly eighteen books. Undoubtedly, his loss is irreparable for the Baloch nation and for the Balochi and Brahui languages.”

Dr. Naseem Baloch stated that, as a nation, “we must not forget that the same Pakistan killed more than one thousand poets, writers, intellectuals, and teachers in Bangladesh. On December 14, 1971 alone, the Pakistani military brutally murdered more than 200 prominent intellectuals. Today, the same painful pattern is being repeated in Balochistan. This is the systematic killing of a nation’s intellectual consciousness.”

The BNM Chairman further said that for many years, Baloch intellectuals, students, teachers, poets, and writers have been systematically targeted in order to silence the Baloch national voice and to keep society mentally suppressed and backward. The assassination of Professor Ghamkhwar Hayat is yet another tragic proof of the deteriorating human rights situation and ongoing state violence in Balochistan, where perpetrators continue committing war crimes with complete impunity.

He added that the occupying state is using various tactics to destroy the intellectual, literary, and ideological foundation of the Baloch nation. “Teachers, intellectuals, and literary figures form the intellectual backbone of any nation, and attacks on them are in fact attacks on Baloch national thought, identity, history, language, and consciousness. However, truth cannot be suppressed through oppression, murder, and fear, nor can a nation struggling for freedom, justice, and dignity be silenced.”

Dr. Naseem Baloch said that Professor Ghamkhwar Hayat played a significant role in promoting awareness, resistance, and national consciousness in Baloch society through his scholarly and literary services. “His killing is not only an irreparable loss for Brahui literature but for the entire Baloch nation.”

The Chairman of Baloch National Movement called on international human rights organizations, the United Nations, literary associations, and media institutions to take notice of the extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances, and state repression against Baloch intellectuals and civilians in Balochistan, and to hold Pakistan accountable for serious human rights violations.

PAANK strongly condemns the killing of Professor Ghamkhwar Hayat, a prominent poet, literary scholar, and educator, who was reportedly shot dead by individuals linked to state-backed death squads in the Killi Mengal area of Nushki, Balochistan.

This tragic incident reflects the worsening security and human rights situation in Balochistan, where targeted killings and violence continue to create fear among civilians.

PAANK expresses deep concern over the repeated attacks on intellectuals, educators, poets, and civilians in Balochistan.

Professor Ghamkhwar Hayat was widely respected for his contributions to literature, poetry, and academic life. His loss is not only a tragedy for his family and colleagues, but also for the literary and intellectual community of Balochistan.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, colleagues, students, and admirers during this difficult time.

Monthly Human Rights Report on Balochistan: 65 Enforced Disappearances and 50 Killings Recorded in March 2026

During March 2026, at least 65 cases of enforced disappearances were documented across Balochistan, including 64 men and 1 woman. House raids remained the primary method, accounting for 50 cases. The FC was linked to 35 cases, intelligence agencies to 19, CTD to 7, death squads to 3, and Rangers to 1. Students were the most affected group, with 25 cases recorded, while nine minors were also among those abducted. Only 16 individuals were later released, while the majority remain disappeared.

Alongside these disappearances, 50 killings were reported during the same period. These included 25 targeted killings and 14 custodial killings of previously disappeared persons. Other reported violence included mortar attacks and shootings by security forces in 6 cases, along with 5 body recoveries. The FC and state-backed death squads were identified as the main perpetrators in majority of these incidents.

The month also witnessed a wider pattern of repression and disruption to civilian life. Police blocked a press conference by families of detained Baloch Yakjehti Committee leaders in Quetta, while curfew measures in Zehri disrupted daily life. Multiple night raids, property destruction, and harassment were reported in Turbat, Surab, and Gwadar. Additional incidents included the destruction of fuel stock in Gwadar during Ramadan, a military operation in Laghar, Surab, a woman previously taken into custody being presented as a “suicide bomber,” a journalist booked under terrorism charges in Quetta, 12 individuals declared proclaimed offenders by the ATC Quetta, and Seema Baloch being placed on the Fourth Schedule in Hub.
