In a troubling incident reported from the Johan Narmuk area of Kalat, the Pakistan Army is accused of dragging two brothers from their home and executing them. The victims, identified as Ismail and Abbas, were taken from their residence in the Narmuk area by soldiers late last night.
According to sources, the Army arrested the two brothers, who were known to be engaged in farming, at their father Abdul Nabi Lahri’s home. One of the brothers reportedly suffered from epilepsy, which raised significant concerns about the justification for their arrest. The soldiers then transported the victims a short distance before opening fire, resulting in their immediate deaths.
The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) has asserted that the brothers were killed during an exchange of fire, a claim that has been strongly disputed. Family and community members have labeled this assertion a blatant lie, emphasizing that one of the victims’ mobility issues due to his condition would have made any confrontation implausible. Many assert that the brothers were executed following their forced removal from their home.
This incident underscores a broader pattern of arbitrary violence and a blatant disregard for due process faced by the Baloch community under military governance. The repercussions of such actions contribute to a climate of fear and repression in the region, further exacerbating tensions.
