Human rights violations in Balochistan have remained consistent and deeply entrenched for years, with patterns of enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and violent crackdowns on peaceful protests continuing largely unchecked. In 2024, these violations persisted at an alarming scale, reflecting both the impunity of state forces and the ongoing failure of accountability mechanisms. Despite growing domestic and international concern, the human cost of state violence continued to mount, with entire communities left grieving in the absence of justice.
According to documentation compiled by the Human Rights Council of Balochistan (HRCB), 830 individuals were forcibly disappeared and 480 were killed across the province in 2024. These figures include only reported and verified cases; the actual scale is likely higher due to media censorship, restricted access, and fear among victims’ families.
