KECH, BALOCHISTAN: The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) has said that a father and his son were extrajudicially killed by Frontier Corps (FC) personnel in the Zamuran area of Kech on May 2, 2026, hours after being forcibly disappeared from their home in an early morning raid.
In a statement issued by the BYC, FC personnel raided the home of Kahuda Peer Muhammad, son of Haji Abdullah Rasheed, a 55-year-old farmer and respected community elder from Dambani Syahgesi, Zamuran, at approximately 4:30 AM. The BYC said family members were assaulted during the raid and both Kahuda Peer Muhammad and his 25-year-old son Abdullah Baloch, a driver by profession, were taken into custody.
According to the BYC, approximately five hours after their disappearance, the bodies of both father and son were found dumped near an FC camp in the area.
The BYC said in its statement that Kahuda Peer Muhammad had previously raised his voice against the destruction and burning of Baloch civilians’ homes by FC personnel and had publicly warned the FC against carrying out such actions in his area.
According to the committee, it was his outspoken criticism of these actions that made him and his son targets of the alleged raid and subsequent killing.
The Baloch Yakjehti Committee said the killings are not an isolated incident but part of an ongoing and intensifying pattern of state violence in Balochistan, where enforced disappearances, targeted killings and extrajudicial executions continue to escalate.
The committee strongly condemned the killings and described them as a reflection of a deliberate policy of targeting civilians who raise their voices against oppression.
“Silence in the face of injustice only strengthens oppression,” the BYC said, adding that voices of resistance in Balochistan would continue to rise against state violence.
The Baloch Yakjehti Committee appealed to international human rights organizations including Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and the United Nations, as well as the broader global community, to take urgent action against what it described as systematic and ongoing human rights violations in Balochistan.
The committee urged that those responsible for the enforced disappearances, targeted killings and extrajudicial executions be held fully accountable before the international community.
