QUETTA: A leading human rights organisation on Wednesday brought to light two separate incidents of violence against civilians in Balochistan -- an extrajudicial killing in Awaran district and an enforced disappearance in Panjgur district -- at the hands of Pakistani forces.

Condemning the brutal killing, Paank, the Baloch National Movement's Human Rights Department, mentioned that the bullet-riddled body of Ayaz Baloch, a school teacher, was recovered from the Nondara area of Awaran on Tuesday, nearly fourteen months after he was forcibly disappeared.

The rights body stated that Ayaz Baloch was forcibly disappeared from his home in Geshkor Tehsil of Awaran by Pakistani security forces along with his cousin Imdad Baloch on October 16, 2024.
