At least two people have been killed and one wounded during a raid on a Baloch residential area in Parkano area of Mastung town in Balochistan on Friday.

Pakistan Frontier Corps (F C), which has recently been given a free hand to carry out target operations in Balochistan, conducted the operation. The deceased have been identified as Rasheed Shahwani Baloch and Shah Jahan whereas the injured men have been named as Saddam Baloch whom the F C and military have took away after the operation. Rashid Baloch reportedly died on the spot whereas Shah Jahan was apprehended wounded and allegedly later shot dead in cold-blood.

The Supreme Court of Pakistan, reputable human rights organisations and families of extra-judicially killed and abducted Baloch say they have strong evidence of F C’s involvement in killing and abducting their loved ones. It is pertinent to mention that two ministers of Baloch National Assembly had claimed to have witness the killing of three youth by F C in Mastung last year.

According to a private Pakistani TV channel, “The spokesperson of F C claimed that the deceased had been involved in killings of police personnel, law enforcement personnel, government officials and other citizens.”

Meanwhile, Pakistani security forces have also detained several people from Saryab Road and Pashtoonabad area of Quetta.

The Baloch Human Rights Organisation has announced to hold a protest demonstration outside Quetta Press Club on Saturday against the Mastung incident.
