Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) central leader Sammi Deen Baloch said the state has implemented what she described as a systematic policy of enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and the dumping of tortured bodies in Balochistan, warning that the situation is becoming increasingly severe.
In a video statement, the BYC leader said the alleged abuses are no longer limited to men, claiming that women are also being abducted and held in detention facilities. She said there are no indications that the Pakistani state intends to halt actions targeting the Baloch population.
Sammi Deen Baloch said that, in this context, it is critically important to immediately document every case of enforced disappearance or extrajudicial killing, particularly those incidents that have not yet been registered with any official or non-official institution. She said ensuring the registration of such cases is a basic responsibility of affected families.
She said the Baloch Yakjehti Committee is currently working on this documentation process and appealed to the public to submit their cases by contacting BYC through its social media accounts, email, or the organization’s human rights representatives.
She urged families to submit cases as soon as possible, saying that, based on the group’s experience, when a case is not registered or made part of an official record and the person is later killed and their body is dumped, families and organizations often lack the evidence needed to establish that the individual had been forcibly disappeared. She said case registration remains the most important and effective tool for accountability.
Sammi Deen Baloch said that when the group raises what it describes as Baloch genocide at international forums, including allegations of harassment, torture, enforced disappearances, and psychological abuse, it is essential to have a comprehensive record of every individual case. She said meaningful advocacy at the global level is only possible when detailed documentation is available.
She concluded by urging families to immediately register cases to help protect the lives of their loved ones.
