Detailed Classification of Incidents

Extrajudicial Killings Following Enforced Disappearance

The following cases show a recurring pattern in Balochistan in which individuals are first subjected to enforced disappearance and later killed, their bodies bearing unmistakable signs of torture and execution. Each case reflects the systematic use of disappearance as a precursor to extrajudicial killing.

• Hamza Baloch, a labourer from Sourgar Oranch, Khuzdar district, and son of Noor Jaan, was abducted by a state-backed death squad and subsequently handed over to the army. After five days of illegal detention, his bullet-riddled body was dumped on 3 November 2025 in the Jootar Koor Korak area of Jhao, Awaran district.
• Mir Dost, son of Ubaid Ullah and a resident of Kosh Kalat, Tump, was found dead on 10 November 2025 in the Ginnah area of Turbat.

• After seven months in the custody, Farooq Naeem, son of Naeem Baloch and a resident of Khairabad, was killed. His bullet-riddled body was recovered on 17 November 2025 from the Banok-e-Chadai area of Kech. Farooq had been detained on 24 April 2025 at the Talar checkpoint between Kech and Gwadar by Pakistan’s security forces while travelling to Karachi to obtain a medical certificate required for a Qatar visa. 
• The same day, the body of Zareef Baloch, son of Lal Bakhsh and a resident of Balor Kulowa, Kech, was also recovered from the Banok-e-Chadai area. Zareef had been forcibly disappeared on 31 March 2025 in Ormara by forces along with his relative Rahm Dil, son of Haider. Both men worked as labourers at a local general store. Rahm Dil was released the following day; Zareef remained disappeared until his killing months later. 
• Abu Bakr Hasil, a vegetable vendor supporting his family, was forcibly disappeared on 26 November 2024 from Gwadar’s Baloch Ward by military personnel.

• Tahir Ahmed, son of Allah Baksh and a resident of Shole, Dasht, was disappeared by the Pakistan Coast Guards on 12 May 2025. His family was later informed by authorities that he was in custody and would be released after interrogation. On 28 November 2025, Tahir’s mutilated body was recovered, exposing the falsity of those assurances. 
• In one of the most brutal cases, Imran, 26, son of Nadil Hayat and a resident of Gomazi, Tump, was abducted at around 2:00 a.m. on 26 November 2025 when state-backed death squad operatives stormed his home during his wedding celebrations. Shortly after the abduction, the perpetrators, operating in coordination with law enforcement agencies, demanded a ransom of 20 million rupees, threatening to return his tortured body if the demand was not met. Despite the family raising 7 million rupees, Imran’s tortured body was dumped the following night in the Gomazi area of Tump. 
• Ayaz Baloch, a school-going student from Mehnaz, Buleda, was forcibly disappeared on 12 November 2025 when the security forces, accompanied by a state-backed armed group, seized him near the main bazaar while he was returning home from school. A week later, on 19 November 2025, his mutilated and partially decomposed body was recovered from the Reko Dam area in Buleda, Kech. Due to the severity of torture, his face was unrecognisable, and his family identified him only through his clothing and shoes.
