Balochistan Observes 'Genocide Remembrance Day' Amidst Human Rights Concerns

• Balochistan and Baloch-populated regions observed January 25 as “Baloch Genocide Remembrance Day” with seminars and vigils.
• The day was dedicated to victims of enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and alleged human rights abuses.
• A seminar in Quetta by Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) focused on the 2014 mass graves discovery in Tootak, Khuzdar.
• Relatives of missing persons shared testimonies, and family members of detained BYC leaders accused authorities of suppressing dissent.
• Events in Taunsa, Dalbandin, Turbat, Surab, Mastung, and Khuzdar highlighted concerns over state-backed projects, uranium mining, and lack of basic services.

Why It Matters: Balochistan marked 'Genocide Remembrance Day' to highlight alleged human rights abuses and seek international attention.
