Pakistan under fire as Quetta burials expose grim reality in Balochistan
Twelve unidentified bodies, recently announced as unclaimed, were buried in Quetta’s Civil Hospital on October 12, 2025, highlighting ongoing human rights concerns in Balochistan, reports 24brussels.
The burial took place at the Dasht Tera Meel graveyard, overseen by the Chhipa Foundation, with local officials and volunteers present. Hospital and administrative sources confirmed that four of the deceased had been transferred from Mangocher, an area experiencing intensified security operations, identified as Gul Khan alias Yaseen, Inayatullah, Izzatullah, and Shay Murad. The remaining eight bodies were buried as unclaimed.
Security operations in Balochistan have faced increasing scrutiny amid allegations of human rights violations. Human rights organizations and local activists accuse Pakistani security forces of conducting “fake encounters” and extrajudicial killings under the pretext of counterterrorism efforts.
Families of missing persons assert that loved ones who previously disappeared are reappearing as unidentified bodies in morgues or mass graves. Baloch nationalist groups and civil society organizations have condemned what they term a “state-sponsored campaign of violence” against civilians. They argue that innocent residents are being targeted during raids and labeled as militants, a claim that officials deny, asserting the deceased were armed insurgents involved in an attack on the Frontier Corps headquarters in Quetta.
The continuous discovery of unidentified bodies exacerbates public mistrust and raises alarms over accountability and justice within the province. Human rights advocates are calling for independent investigations into these deaths, emphasizing the urgency of addressing the cycle of enforced disappearances and unclaimed burials.
