Balochistan’s Gwadar region witnesses one of the largest ever protests recorded in the province. Having begun a month ago, the protests seem to a culmination of all the policies that have ended up in maladministration of the province. The concerns raised by the protests include access to clean water, illegal trawling, CPEC’s arbitrary policies and the fears of influx of outsiders into the region. As usual, the military is expected to diffuse the situation sooner or later; this does not take away attention from the past decades of misgovernance which resulted in the ongoing institutionalization of protests. In the backdrop of the seven-decade long insurgency, the presence of such grievances has also renewed focus on the legitimacy of Kalat’s accession to the dominion of Pakistan in 1948. This is not to question its legality on technical grounds, the reality remains that the coercion on the erstwhile ruler (who had a separate independent status distinct from other princely states) gave way to the continuation of similar tactics on the Baloch people at large.
This short article looks into the Human Rights situation in the province, particularly the Enforced Disappearances and the presence of Death Squads, the main issues plaguing Balochistan.
Enforced Disappearances
Enforced disappearance and Extra Judicial killings in Balochistan have developed a sense of insecurity among the common Baloch people. This issue has been at the top of the list of all the problems since the law enforcement agencies have been suspected for this case, in order to regulate and overpower insurgency in the province. The exact statistics of these enforced disappeared people remains debatable due to a deliberate under reporting. It was only in 1994 that the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan first looked into the issue of missing persons. The cases of missing persons saw an upsurge in the country following the 9/11 attacks in the US. Further, missing persons increased significantly after the killing of Nawab Akbar Bugti in 2006. The establishment’s response to Baloch nationalists and militants was to set up more military cantonments and outposts throughout the province. In the Marri and Bugti areas, these operations resulted in thousands of Internal displacements as well as migration across the Afghan Border. The government did attempt minimal firefighting through a general amnesty but the situation remained the same. According to a State Department report, “the federal Commission of Inquiry on Enforced Disappearances in Balochistan claimed 164 cases remained pending from 483 cases reported between March 2011 and March 2020”. In July 2020 only, the same report mentions that “45 individuals had disappeared and that assailants had killed 15 persons in seven districts [of the province]”.
Death Squads
Ethnic nationalism and popular unrest resulted in the formation of Death Squads, especially in the southwestern districts of Balochistan. Death Squads, which are believed to be unofficially supported by the forces linked to the deep-state have been used as a counter-weight against the insurgents and/or citizens accused of harbouring nationalist sentiments. The squads consisted of religious radicals, drug-smuggling networks and criminals picked up from members of the Baloch society to destabilise the insurgents. They are given tasks to harass, abduct and target and kill political and human rights activists, military critics and the common people with secular ideals. In return, they are given a free hand to blackmail and extort businessmen and indulge in the profitable drug trafficking from Afghanistan to Balochistan´s seashores. The illicit activities of these Squads have lately amplified to unparalleled levels mainly due to the Army outsourcing its genocidal policy to these convicts.
The districts of Balochistan notoriously associated with Death Squads are namely Mastung, Khuzdar, Kech, Panjgur, Awaran and Dera Bugti. It is unfortunate that despite international campaigns run by the Baloch Diaspora and grassroots activists, the international community is yet to acknowledge the presence of these squads.

Steel cutting ceremony of 600 ton Maritime Patrol Vessel for Pakistan Maritime Security Agency was held at Karachi Shipyard & Engineering Works (KS&EW) yesterday. Federal Minister for Planning, Development and Reform, Professor Ahsan Iqbal, graced the occasion as Chief Guest. The ceremony was attended by high ranking officials from the Government, Pakistan Navy, CSTC (China), KPT, PMSA, PQA, KS&EW and Corporate Sector.
MD KS&EW, Rear Admiral Syed Hasan Nasir Shah HI(M) in his welcome address expressed that construction of 600 tons MPV at KS&EW signifies the trust and confidence that Government reposes in Karachi Shipyard. The 600 Ton Maritime Patrol Vessel is a state of the art, multi mission vessel with steel hull and aluminium super structure. He said that this ship will be fully equipped to enforce maritime security, search and rescue missions in Maritime Exclusive Economic Zone of Pakistan. He further said that this year we will be launching 2 ships and starting projects of 3 new ships.
Later, the Chief Guest in his address congratulated Karachi Shipyard and M/s China Shipbuilding Trading Company (CSTC) for timely achievement of this construction milestone. He said that induction of MPVs will go a long way in protecting national sovereignty and safeguarding rich natural resources of the area. He further said that the Government is committed to develop maritime infrastructure along the coast to prepare for trade expansion. In this regard, the upcoming China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) will transform Pakistan into a regional economic hub, which will prove to be a ‘game and fate changer’ for the region.
While sharing his views about the upcoming development in the maritime sector, he said that the upcoming Ship Lift and Transfer System will further enhance the capacity of KS&EW whereby repair of 13 ships would be possible at one time. Ensuring his continued support for Karachi Shipyard in upgrading and maintaining its infrastructure, he motivated the workforce with the pledge to make Pakistan a leading shipbuilding country in the region in line with its potential and ideal location.
