Human rights violations in Balochistan have been a significant and ongoing issue for decades. In Pakistan's Balochistan province, ethnic Baloch people have long alleged systematic discrimination, marginalisation, and a denial of political autonomy. The Pakistani state has been accused of forcibly suppressing Baloch nationalist movements, with reports of extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances, and torture of activists, journalists, and civilians.

The Pakistani military, intelligence agencies, and paramilitary forces have been implicated in these abuses, with Baloch insurgents and pro-independence groups often targeted in the name of counter-insurgency.

In addition to violence, the people of Balochistan face widespread economic underdevelopment despite the region's rich natural resources, including oil, gas, and minerals. This economic disparity, along with limited access to education, healthcare, and infrastructure, fuels discontent among the Baloch population. (ANI)
