Struggling to regain independence of Balochistan from Iran and Pakistan

[Amnesty International South Asia, Regional Office @amnestysasia]

PAKISTAN: Zubair Shah Agha, a core committee member of the Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement (PTM), was arbitrarily detained on 28 June after attending a press conference organized by the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) in Quetta on the sentencing of Mahrang Baloch.

He has since been held in administrative detention under section 3 of Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance (MPO). Zubair Agha's detention is the latest in a growing pattern of Pakistani authorities using administrative detention powers to arbitrarily deprive activists, journalists and human rights defenders of their liberty. Similar to Zubair, Syed Bibi Baloch was taken into administrative detention under MPO on 1 July in Turbat, Balochistan after a peaceful protest was announced regarding Mahrang’s sentencing. On 20 June, journalist Ahmad Farhad was also detained under MPO in Bagh, Pakistan-administered Jammu and Kashmir, where he remains in custody.

Pakistani authorities must immediately release Zubair Shah Agha, Syed Bibi Baloch and Ahmad Farhad, and end the misuse of administrative detention laws to suppress peaceful dissent and uphold the rights to liberty, freedom of expression and peaceful assembly.

Baloch Voice for Justice strongly condemns the killing of Riaz Baloch, a 35 year old tractor driver from Dera Bugti, who died on 10 July 2026 after enduring brutal torture in CTD custody. He was forcibly disappeared from his home on 12 June and held without any legal process. After his family paid PKR 5 million, he was released in critical condition and transferred to Aga Khan University Hospital in Karachi, where he later succumbed to his injuries.

The killing of Riaz Baloch reflects the continuing pattern of enforced disappearances, custodial torture, and extortion carried out by state authorities in Balochistan. Families are forced to pay enormous sums to secure the release of their loved ones, while many victims are returned with life threatening injuries or never return at all. Such practices have created a climate of fear and impunity across the region.

Baloch Voice for Justice urges the United Nations, international human rights organizations, and democratic governments to take immediate action to address these grave human rights violations. Silence only encourages further abuses. Those responsible must be held accountable, enforced disappearances must end, and justice must be delivered to Riaz Baloch and every victim of state violence in Balochistan.

The reported killing of Kamran Baloch, a 20-year-old FSc student, in Khuzdar on 8 July 2026 is deeply saddening. Every loss of civilian life deserves attention, justice, and accountability.

Dera Bugti: A man who was allegedly forcibly disappeared by Pakistani forces has died after being released.

The family of Riaz, son of Sajan Bugti, said that on June 12 this year, CTD SHO Umar Khoso raided their home, allegedly forcibly disappeared him, demanded money, and severely tortured him. According to the family, Riaz died today at a private hospital in Karachi.

Local people say that the CTD often raids the homes of political opponents of Sarfraz Bugti, allegedly detains them, and later releases them after large amounts of money are paid. They also said that some families do not report such incidents because of government pressure.

Local residents further claimed that several people are still in CTD custody in Dera Bugti, and their lives are at serious risk.

جیونی کے علاقے پانوان میں ایک بار پھر ظلم کی انتہا کردی گئی۔ پاکستانی ریاستی فورسز نے کئی افراد کو جبری طور پر لاپتہ کرنے کے ساتھ بے گناہ لوگوں کے گھروں کو بھی مسمار کردیا۔

یہ تصویر علی اصغر کے گھر کی ہے، جنہیں 16 اپریل 2026 کو جبری طور پر لاپتہ کیا گیا تھا، اور اب ان کا گھر بھی مٹی میں ملا دیا گیا۔

یاد رہے کہ بلوچستان بھر میں پاکستانی ریاستی مظالم تیزی سے جاری ہیں۔

Mastung: Drone attack on the house of Muhammad Ibrahim and his brother is deeply concerning, says BYC
The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) said that on June 3, Pakistani forces carried out a drone strike on the house of a civilian, Muhammad Ibrahim, in Dasht Kambil, Mastung. Fortunately, no one was injured. However, more than 50 livestock belonging to the family were killed. These animals were the poor family's only source of income.
The spokesperson said that because there are very few job opportunities in Balochistan, many people depend on livestock farming for their livelihood. They live in remote mountainous areas with their animals. Sadly, these hardworking people often become direct victims of Pakistani state violence. During military operations, their homes are burned, men and women are allegedly killed without trial, forcibly disappeared, or their only source of income their livestock is destroyed. Taking away their animals or targeting these already vulnerable people is a serious injustice.
The spokesperson added that it is the responsibility of the Pakistani state to protect not only people's lives but also their homes and livelihoods. However, they claimed that in Pakistan, Baloch people are not safe, and neither are their homes or livestock. They described these actions as part of what they called the genocide of the Baloch people.
The statement further said that the Baloch Yakjehti Committee strongly condemns this Pakistani state aggression and calls on the United Nations and all international human rights organizations to immediately take notice of the alleged abuses, drone strikes, and serious human rights violations against the Baloch people in Balochistan, and to hold Pakistan accountable under international law.

Syed Bibi, a member of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) who was recently released from jail, says that her life is under threat. She claims that if any harm comes to her, the responsibility will lie with Turbat Police officer Zohaib Baloch and Pakistani secret agencies.
According to Syed Bibi, on the night of July 1, 2026, Pakistani secret agencies detained her from her home. She was released the following night. She says that about half an hour after returning home, she received a phone call informing her that officials were coming to detain her again.
She stated that, at her children's insistence, she spent the entire night in a graveyard with them to stay safe. According to her, when she returned home in the morning, neighbors told her that security personnel had come three times during the night looking for her.
Syed Bibi says that for the past year she has been reporting to the CTD office every week, yet she continues to face harassment.
She added that if anything happens to her, Turbat Police authorities, Zohaib Baloch, and Pakistani secret agencies will be responsible.

A mother who has been waiting for her son for 16 years.

The current condition and whereabouts of Zubair Shah Agha, a central committee member of the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM), are still unknown.

He was detained in Quetta along with two other PTM members while returning from a press conference organized by the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC). The press conference was held to protest the life imprisonment sentence given to Mahrang Baloch.

It is being claimed that the state is trying to silence anyone who speaks the truth or supports the truth about Balochistan.
