Abdul Malik Baloch, a Victim of Enforced Disappearance Killed in Staged Encounter

The authorities claimed that four people have been killed in an encounter with forces in Zehri area of district Khuzdar. However, one of them was identified as Abdul Malik Baloch son of Muhammad Yousaf, a resident of Kohing, Kalat. Malik was forcibly disappeared by Pakistani forces on 11 October, 2024, from Turbat. His family has been seeking justice and raising voice during every sit-in and rally for enforcedly disappeared Baloch.

They also were present in the March sit-ins in Kalat where the district administration assured them among others to bring to surface the missing within 15 days. However, his bullet-riddled body came and along with the brand of a terrorist by the State killed in an encounter with security forces.

The colonial State is suppressing the Baloch using all its might. By ruthless killing, abductions, torture, arrests of national leaders, and spreading chaos. It is terrorizing an entire nation native to the land to prolong its control and exploitation.

We urge the Baloch nation to stand united and resist this fascist state. Every voice is important in a time when State is trying to silence us. We must speak for Abdul Malik who liked thousands was martyred in the name of the Baloch.
