The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) has condemned the recent killings of several individuals in the Panjgur district of Balochistan and called on international organisations to take notice of what it describes as a deteriorating human rights situation in the region.
In a statement, the group said that Hammal Hasni, a lawyer and son of Samad Hasni, was killed on 6 March 2026 in the Sabz Koh area of Panjgur. The organisation alleged that Pakistani security forces were responsible for the shooting. No official statement from authorities was immediately available regarding the incident.
The BYC also referred to three other deaths reported in the Parom area of Panjgur on 5 March 2026. According to the organisation, the victims were identified as Zakir Baloch, son of Abdeen, Umar Jan, and Niaz, son of Haji Allah Bakhsh. The group said the three young men were residents of Sabzal Bazaar in Parom and worked as drivers to support their families.
The statement alleged that Zakir Baloch was shot and fatally wounded in the Kaleri area of Parom, while Umar Jan and 24-year-old Niaz were also killed in separate shooting incidents in the same locality. Details regarding the circumstances of the shootings remain unclear, and the allegations have not been independently confirmed.
In its statement, the BYC said the incidents reflect broader concerns about human rights violations in Balochistan, including reports of enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings and targeted attacks. The organisation said such incidents have contributed to an atmosphere of fear across Balochistan.
The group also expressed concern about the detention of several of its leaders, including Dr Mahrang Baloch, stating that they have been in custody for about a year. According to the organisation, the leaders were initially detained under public order regulations and later charged under anti-terrorism laws. Pakistani authorities have not publicly responded to the allegations made in the statement.
The BYC called on international organisations, including the United Nations Human Rights Council, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, to take notice of the situation and support independent investigations into reported incidents in Balochistan.
Pakistani authorities have not issued an immediate response to the claims made by the organisation.
