In a harrowing report, the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) has announced the death of Salam Haider, allegedly at the hands of Pakistani forces. According to the BYC's post on X, Haider was a young man from Gwadar who tragically lost his life after reportedly being tortured during an illegal detention.

The events unfolded on June 12th, 2025, when Pakistani forces reportedly raided Haider's home at around 11 PM and took him into custody. Three days later, his family was left devastated when his lifeless, mutilated body was returned to them, raising serious concerns about human rights violations.

Further unrest grips Balochistan as reports of another death emerge. Saud Nichari, linked to an aggressive search operation by the Frontier Corps in Mangochar, was reportedly killed without trial. The BYC underscores these instances as mounting evidence of enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings in the region, demanding broader awareness and intervention.
