At least five Baloch youths were extrajudicially killed by Pakistani forces in Balochistan, leading human rights organisations alleged on Wednesday. Human rights body Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) said that five young men were killed in a “fake encounter” on August 10 by Pakistani forces in the Cheedagi region of Panjgur district.

According to the rights body, one of the deceased, identified as Shoaib, was brutally killed in Cheedagi after being forcibly disappeared by Pakistani forces for more than three years.
