In POB, six bodies were recovered from various locations within the last 24 hours. The latest discoveries lay bare the brutality of the Pakistan Army and its accomplices, whose systematic campaign of enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings continues to terrorize the region.
On Monday, the body of Amanullah, a young boy who went missing a month ago in Quetta’s Khrotabad area, was discovered in the mountains of Nohisar. Meanwhile, in Kech district’s Kalg area, an elderly woman who disappeared on Sunday evening near Aliabad Road was found dead the next morning by Levies forces. This marks the second woman’s body recovered in Turbat this week.
In Khuzdar’s Zehri area, remains of Abid Hussain and Masti Khan, missing for eight years, were unearthed on Monday. On Sunday, two more bodies, identified as Faqir Jan and Essa, were discovered in Awaran. Both had also been missing for years.
The systematic discovery of unidentified and mutilated bodies across POB exposes the Pak Army’s draconian policies aimed at silencing and subjugating the Baloch people. The so-called “law enforcement agencies” and intelligence apparatus, led by the Army and the ISI, have turned POB into a graveyard for its inhabitants, operating death squads that abduct, torture, and kill those they deem a threat.
These atrocities are not mere “incidents” but a deliberate strategy to crush the spirit of Baloch nationalism, which has grown in response to decades of exploitation and repression since Pakistan’s illegal annexation of Balochistan in 1948. The discovery of these bodies is part of a larger campaign of terror, where enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings are wielded as tools to stifle voices demanding justice and autonomy.
