Baloch National Movement Accuses Pakistani Military of Forced Displacements

The Baloch National Movement released a report accusing the Pakistani military of forcibly displacing approximately 5,000 residents from their ancestral homes in Balochistan province. The report, published by the organization's human rights department, Paank, documents the displacement of nearly the entire population of Shadi Kaur in the Gwadar district on July 11 and 12, 2026.

According to the report, Pakistani Army personnel ordered residents to vacate their homes under threat of arson. These actions followed a series of military operations, including a three-day siege in May 2026 during which the military detained up to 100 men. The Baloch National Movement alleges that 40 of those detainees were forcibly disappeared and others were tortured.

The displacement has reportedly left 10,000 acres of agricultural land abandoned, forcing families to live in tents in towns such as Pasni and Turbat. The organization is now demanding humanitarian aid, accountability for the abuses, and the safe return of the displaced families to their homes.
