In a post on X, Brahumdagh Bugti said, “I strongly condemn the attack by Pakistani forces on Baloch civilians in Mastung. Forces fired at vehicles of protesters who were on their way to attend a public gathering in Gwadar, resulting in several injuries due to indiscriminate firing. This brutal action demonstrates how Pakistani forces operate with impunity”.

A similar incident of Pakistan’s brutality was reported by Sadia Baloch, a Baloch leader and member of the BYC.

In a post on X, the Baloch leader mentioned, “Today State agencies and FC opened fire thrice on our peaceful caravan while we were marching from Quetta to Gawadar for the Baloch Raaji Muchi. We were stopped and beaten multiple times by the FC and agencies on the route. As we finally reached Mastung Chowk through all hurdles, FC fired the tyres of all our vehicles while we were on them”.

The statement by Sadia further mentioned that the Pakistani defence forces opened fire on the peaceful participants, resulting in severe injuries to 15 people four of which have been reported critical. Currently, we are on a sit-in at Mastung Chowk against the state’s brutal use of power on people practising their right to peaceful politics.
