In the aftermath of a recent assault by the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) targeting Chinese nationals, local authorities have apprehended a group of Baloch women and launched an extensive search operation in Gwadar, a coastal city in Balochistan.
The attack occurred on August 13 when the BLA targeted a Chinese convoy in Gwadar, a strategically important city for the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Subsequent to the attack, authorities swiftly imposed curfews and road closures. Pakistani security forces initiated a comprehensive search operation across various areas, including Faqir Colony and Mondi. This operation resulted in the arrest of several individuals, who have since been transported to undisclosed locations.
Reports indicate that five Baloch women, believed to be residents of Western Balochistan under Iranian administration, were detained by Pakistani law enforcement officials in Gwadar on Tuesday. After preliminary investigation, they were handed over to Gwadar’s local police on Wednesday and subsequently presented before a court. These women have been charged under the Foreign Act and subsequently transferred to a detention facility.
Of note is the notable surge in reported cases of enforced abductions and increased military activities in Balochistan following the BLA’s attack on Sunday.
The BLA’s assault on Chinese engineers prompted Chinese authorities to call upon Pakistan to take swift action against the perpetrators and their accomplices, urging for stringent punishments.
According to the BLA’s statement, the attack resulted in the tragic deaths of four Chinese nationals and 11 Pakistani security personnel who were associated with a Chinese company operating in Gwadar. The BLA claimed responsibility for the attack, specifically attributing it to the Majeed Brigade faction within the organization.
In response, Pakistani security forces launched a concentrated search operation that is currently ongoing, resulting in a substantial number of arrests, although specific details remain limited.
