Pakistan’s Field Marshal General Asim Munir has launched his death squad for the people of Balochistan. Baloch activist Mahanrang Baloch claimed that people are forcibly disappeared by the Pakistanis. They are caught for years and then killing them and throwing their mutilated bodies.The unrest in Balochistan today is not the result of the sudden rebellion, but the result of the government policies that have been isolated the people there and have deepened the struggle. From forcibly capturing Kalat in 1948 to the assassination of Nawab Akbar Bugti in 2006, Pakistan’s decisions have repeatedly ventured the cycles of rebellion and repression. Recent statistics show that these cycles are getting worse, and some of the most deadly terrorist attacks in the last few years, as well as forcibly missing incidents, are also increasing rapidly.

According to the Balochistan Human Rights Council, 830 people were forcibly disappeared and 480 people were killed in 2024. Most of these have not been detected yet. The institution has warned that after major terrorist incidents, there is a boom in missing incidents, which reflects the pattern of mass punishment rather than targeted anti-terrorism action. According to Pakistan’s official forcible missing Inquiry Commission, since 2011, the total figure is more than 10,400, but human rights groups dismiss these figures as partial and unclear and say they hide the state’s responsibility. Last year, there were many deadly incidents, which intensified this cycle. On 26 August 2024, on the anniversary of the murder of Akbar Bugti, at least 70 people were killed in a coordinated ambush on the highway, including the passengers taken off from buses. A few weeks later, 32 people were killed in a suicide bomb blast at Quetta station. In March 2025, the Jaffer Express was abducted by militants, killing 26 civilians. There was an increase in the number of disappearance after every attack, often students and workers were targeted.

This repression has not been limited to remote districts only. In December 2023, women-linked groups of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee took out a “long march” from Ketch to Islamabad, demanding justice for the missing people. Security forces forcefully ended the dharna in the capital. In March 2025, new protests erupted when the bodies reached the hospital after train kidnapping in Quetta. Security forces opened fire, in which at least three people were killed and several leaders, including Dr. Meharang Baloch, were arrested. The internet was then discontinued in Gwadar and Makran, which Amnesty International condemned by calling them punitive and illegal.
