QUETTA: At least two Baloch youth were extrajudicially killed by a Pakistan-backed death squad in Balochistan, said a leading human rights organisation on Thursday.

The latest act of brutality comes against the backdrop of a continuing cycle of persecution marked by a surge in extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances and torture across the province.

Human rights body Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) mentioned that Zahoor Baloch, a 20-year-old labourer and a resident of Paroom region in Panjgur district, was forcibly abducted by a state-backed death squad in the early hours of October 20.
