Once again, the Pakistan Army and its intelligence agencies have shown their true colors, ruthlessly cracking down on peaceful Baloch activists. In the latest act of aggression, Pak intelligence officials, operating under the explicit orders of the Army, violently attacked Dr. Mahrang Baloch’s vehicle upon her return to Karachi Airport. The cowardly agents shattered her car windows and stole her passport, mobile phone, and other belongings, exposing the establishment’s utter disregard for law and human decency.
Sammi Deen Baloch, who was accompanying Mahrang Baloch, described how their vehicle was surrounded by intelligence operatives with the assistance of local police—acting as puppets of the Army. After an illegal search of the car, these thugs physically assaulted both activists, treating them with the same brutality that has become the hallmark of the military establishment. The driver was also viciously beaten, showing the depth of the Army’s disdain.
Sammi Deen Baloch further said that the military personnel seized their car keys, along with Mahrang’s mobile phone and passport. “We are stranded on the road, and if any harm comes to us, the blame falls squarely on the Pakistan Army, this oppressive state, and the puppet Sindh government, who are all complicit in these crimes.”
Dr. Mahrang Baloch was scheduled to attend an international conference in the U.S., departing from Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport. However, the FIA—another extension of the Army’s oppressive machinery—blocked her from traveling. The Army and its agencies have consistently targeted activists like her to prevent any exposure of their atrocities on the international stage.
This violent crackdown is yet another example of how the Pakistan Army and its intelligence apparatus operate, suppressing Baloch voices and peaceful activists in the most brutal manner possible. Their thirst for silencing dissent, especially from marginalized communities like the Baloch, knows no bounds. This is the true face of Pakistan’s military establishment—one built on fear, oppression, and violence.
