Kech, Balochistan: In response to a call by the Baloch Yekjehti Committee (BYC), a protest rally was held in Turbat against the alleged extrajudicial killing of Zeeshan Zaheer, drawing a large crowd including many women.
The rally began at Shaheed Fida Chowk and moved through various streets of the city before returning to the same location, where a protest gathering was held. Participants raised slogans against state terrorism and death squad atrocities, denouncing the continued targeting of Baloch youth.
Speakers at the protest condemned the increasing number of enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings of Baloch youth like Zeeshan Zaheer, calling such acts a blatant violation of law, constitution, and human rights. They noted that these incidents are intensifying across Balochistan.
They further alleged that in recent weeks, people have been abducted from their homes across Makuran, Khuzdar, Mastung, Kharan and Awaran, with their bodies dumped the following day. In areas like Mashkay, they said, such acts have become routine, with civilians either being summoned to military camps or taken from their homes, only to later be found dead.
BYC leaders also criticized the provincial government’s crackdown on their organization, saying these actions were carried out at the behest of the state to suppress resistance and silence voices against state-sponsored oppression.
“The people of Balochistan and the BYC will not retreat from their resistance,” said one speaker. “As long as Baloch live, we will continue to raise our voices against tyranny. No force in the world can silence us from speaking the truth.”
They reaffirmed that BYC will continue to speak out across Balochistan, standing with the people and against every act of oppression.
