Baloch Yakjehti Committee Alleges Forced Evictions in Gwadar's Sardasht Area
The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) alleges that nearly 3,000 residents of Sardasht, an ancient Baloch settlement in Gwadar district, Balochistan, are being forcibly evicted under the pretext of security concerns. The BYC rejects the security justification, calling the evictions a state assault on Baloch survival and part of a broader policy of displacement along the Makran coast. The group claims these actions violate Pakistan's Constitution and international law, and criticizes restrictions on local communities and resources in the region.
