Two Friends Killed in Khuzdar Attack, BYC Calls for Investigation
Two friends, Barkat Baloch and Alam Khan, were attacked by unidentified armed men in Sohrdap, Khuzdar, Balochistan, on September 17. Alam Khan died immediately, while Barkat succumbed to injuries after 12 days in Karachi's Civil Trauma Hospital. The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) alleges this attack reflects a broader pattern of targeted violence and human rights violations against Baloch civilians. The BYC has called for independent investigations and urged national and international bodies to address the escalating human rights concerns in the region.
