𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗕𝗔𝗧, 𝗞𝗘𝗖𝗛 – 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟭𝟯, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) expresses deep concern over the reported custodial killings of Safaullah, son of Mullah Bakhsh, and Shahjahan — both residents of Absar Bunday Kalat, District Kech. According to their families, Safaullah was forcibly disappeared on April 20, 2025. On April 23, his family submitted a formal application to the office of the Deputy Commissioner (DC) Kech seeking information regarding his whereabouts, but received no response. On June 13, when they once again approached the DC office, they were informed that Safaullah had been killed in an alleged armed encounter on April 29 and that his body had already been buried. The location of the grave was not disclosed. Shahjahan was reportedly detained by security forces on April 14, 2025. His family had received no information regarding his fate for nearly two months. On June 13, they were similarly informed that he had been killed in an alleged encounter and buried, without any prior notification to the family or disclosure of the burial site. Both families categorically reject the official narrative of armed encounters, stating that their loved ones were in state custody following enforced disappearances and were killed extrajudicially. The families, along with local residents, are currently holding a peaceful protest outside the Deputy Commissioner’s office in Turbat. They are demanding to be shown the graves of their loved ones and seeking answers surrounding the circumstances of the deaths. The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) stands in solidarity with the families and reiterates the need for transparency and accountability in all cases involving enforced disappearances and custodial killings in Balochistan. #stopbalochgenocide
