This report highlights the alarming human rights violations taking place in Balochistan, particularly enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings. The documented cases point to a clear pattern of state repression, where individuals are detained without cause and, in many instances, unlawfully killed by Pakistani forces. The data presented is based on verified reports from June 2025 and reflects the worsening human rights situation in the region.
Statics of Enforced Disappearances
The following districts reported cases of enforced disappearances and illegal detentions during June 2025:
Total Cases: 84
Torture Victims: 32
Extrajudicial Killing Cases: 33
In June 2025, numerous cases of enforced disappearances and illegal detentions were reported across 14 districts of Balochistan, including incidents from Karachi and Islamabad. The districts of Kech and Mastung recorded the highest number of disappearances. A total of 84 people were forcibly disappeared during the month. Many of them were held without any legal process, and 32 individuals were later released after suffering both mental and physical torture while in custody.
Abductions of Baloch youth from Karachi and Islamabad have also become increasingly common, raising serious concerns among families and human
rights defenders. Despite repeated calls for action, the racial profiling case of Baloch students remains pending in the Islamabad High Court. In Karachi, the indigenous Baloch community, which has lived there for generations, continues to face systematic state oppression. These communities are subjected to frequent harassment, illegal raids, and disappearances, contributing to a growing sense of fear and injustice.
Extrajudicial Killings
Extrajudicial killings by Pakistani forces in Balochistan continue without pause. The military is reportedly detaining and killing individuals without any legal process, often for unknown reasons. In June 2025 alone, 33 people were killed in such incidents. These actions reflect a disturbing trend of unchecked violence by state authorities.
One of the victims, Aman Ullah Baloch from Mashkai Shareeki, was repeatedly harassed by the Pakistani army. He was summoned multiple times to a military camp and pressured to work against his will. The continuous intimidation and coercion became unbearable. Tragically, on 16 June 2025, he ended his own life. His case highlights the extreme psychological toll such state abuse can have on individuals.

Analysis of Extrajudicial Killings in Balochistan
Two tragic cases in June 2025 highlight the deadly cost of speaking out in Balochistan. Zeeshan Baloch, a 21-year-old student, was campaigning for the
safe recovery of his disappeared father, Zaheer Baloch, when he was abducted and killed by a state-backed death squad. Kamran Jattak, a prominent tribal figure, was similarly targeted and shot dead after vocally condemning the abduction of Asma Jattak by such groups in Khuzdar. Both paid with their lives for demanding justice.
In total, 33 people were extrajudicially killed across Balochistan in June, with victims including students, farmers, and poets. Abductions, torture, and killings —often by the army, FC, or state-backed death squads—continue unchecked. One deeply tragic case was Aman Ullah Baloch, who took his own life after relentless coercion by the military. The killings in Duki, involving Haider Ali, Soubat Marri, and others, show a disturbing pattern of staged encounters. This growing trend reflects a systematic effort to silence dissent and instil fear, with no accountability or legal recourse for the victims and their families.
The repeated use of enforced disappearances followed by extrajudicial killings has become a hallmark of state policy in Balochistan. Victims are often taken without any legal process and later found dead, bearing signs of torture. The silence of institutions and lack of judicial oversight have allowed this crisis to grow. For families, the trauma is twofold—first the disappearance, then the discovery of mutilated bodies, often dumped in remote areas. This ongoing pattern reflects a deep human rights emergency that demands urgent international attention.
Peaceful Baloch Activists Remain Jailed Under False Charges
Dr Mahrang Baloch, Gulzadi Baloch, Beebow Baloch, Sibghat Ullah Baloch, and Beeberg Baloch are still behind bars, even after appearing before the court. Instead of being released, they were handed over to the police on a 10-day physical remand under newly fabricated terrorism charges. This move appears to be a clear tactic by the authorities to silence peaceful activists and leaders, and to keep them locked up without fair trial or evidence. These individuals have been raising their voices peacefully for justice and human rights in Balochistan — punishing them under false cases is a serious violation of justice and democratic rights.
New Anti-Terrorism Law Deepens Human Rights Crisis in Balochistan
Paank strongly condemns the Anti-Terrorism (Balochistan Amendment) Bill 2025, which gives unchecked powers to military, police, and intelligence
agencies to detain anyone on mere suspicion for up to three months, with the possibility of extension. This law, along with the continued misuse of the Maintenance of Public Order (3MPO) Ordinance, has worsened the human rights situation in Balochistan. Peaceful protesters and political voices, including members of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC), have been unfairly arrested, mistreated in custody, and denied justice. In one such case, Dr Mahrang Baloch and fellow BYC leaders were detained during a peaceful protest and subjected to abuse, with courts failing to offer protection or remedy. These actions show a deliberate effort to silence peaceful dissent and violate basic freedoms. Paank calls on the international community to stand with the Baloch people, demand the repeal of this unjust law, and push for an independent investigation into these abuses.
Conclusion & Appeal to the International Community
What is unfolding in Balochistan is not an isolated issue — it is a long-standing and growing human rights crisis. Every month, innocent civilians are being forcibly disappeared, tortured, and killed without any legal process. In June 2025 alone, there were 84 cases of enforced disappearances and 33 cases of extrajudicial killings. Many of those abducted were later found mutilated, tortured, or simply dumped in remote areas. These are not just numbers — they are fathers, sons, students, poets, and community leaders.
This continued state-backed violence is being carried out by Pakistani forces and affiliated death squads, with no accountability and no justice for the
victims or their families. Silence and inaction by the international community only encourage more brutality.
We appeal to the European Union to reassess Pakistan’s GSP+ status, which provides special trade benefits despite Pakistan’s blatant disregard for human rights in Balochistan. It is unacceptable for Pakistan to enjoy economic advantages while carrying out such cruel repression.
We also urge Western governments and international human rights organizations to document and include these abuses in their annual country
reports, and raise these concerns in diplomatic engagements.
The people of Balochistan are not invisible. Their pain is real. Their voices matter.
Now is the time to stand up — for justice, for dignity, and for truth.
The world must not stay silent
