Pak-occupied-Balochistan remains under siege as Army-backed death squads continue their campaign of targeted assassinations and enforced disappearances, leaving families shattered and communities enraged. The lifeless body of yet another young Baloch, Karim Baloch, son of Manzoor Baloch, now lies at the center of a protest in Gomazi, as his grieving family demands justice.
Karim Baloch was brutally murdered by armed men affiliated with Pakistan’s notorious death squads, operating with impunity under the Army’s protection. His killing follows the murder of his childhood friend and relative, Mehraj Baloch, by the same Pak Army-sponsored gunmen. With the Paki establishment treating Baloch lives as disposable, his family has refused to bury him, instead choosing to resist. Their sit-in continues, a powerful rejection of the Army’s terror machinery.
Death Squads Execute Yet Another Teenager
Meanwhile, in Pasni, protests intensify at Zero Point, where the family of three forcibly disappeared brothers—Waheed Majeed, Nadeem Majeed, and Hafeez Majeed—are blocking roads, demanding their safe return. In Surab, the family of Jhanzeb Baloch, abducted on January 11 from Zehri, has taken to the streets, shutting down the CPEC highway in defiance of Pakistan Army oppression. These peaceful protestors faced yet another attack, as the Army-backed death squads stormed the sit-in, leaving two women injured.
Simultaneously, the protest with Karim Baloch’s body has entered its second day at Shaheed Fida Chowk, with women, children, and men standing their ground. Members of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee and political activists have joined, further exposing the army’s systematic brutality. Initially, Karim’s family had taken his body to Jadgal Dann (D Baloch Point) and blocked the M-8 highway in outrage. By 3 AM, they had moved to Shaheed Fida Chowk, refusing to let his murder go unanswered.
Public outrage continues to mount as people recognize the familiar pattern—Baloch youth being targeted, abducted, or executed in cold blood while the Paki establishment attempts to suppress their voices. The death squads are not rogue elements; they are tools of the military establishment, tasked with eliminating the Baloch population.
