Kuntani Massacre 

The Kuntani Massacre, where the Pakistani Coast Guard killed Baloch laborers in Kuntani Area of Gwader, represents extreme state barbarism. Nearly dozen laborers were martyred in search of food and work. The Baloch civilians living under Pakistani occupation, have been deprived of their basic economic rights, they are forced to work in very hard conditions. Previously, the Baloch laborers have been targeted, their vehicles, shops and small businesses have been destroyed while people are being beaten, humiliated on daily basis. Few months earlier, a same incident occurred and two laborers were killed in the Jewani area.

The Baloch civilians are forced to work in this extreme conditions, the government officials including Pakistani Coast Guard, FC, Army, Police and other security forces are busy in taking bribes from the poor Baloch drivers and shopkeepers in the area. After having a fixed amount of bribes, they continuously beat, humiliate the laborers and burn their vehicles and shops, which is the colonial oppression of Pakistani state on Baloch nation.

The Kuntani massacre is part of broader events of Baloch genocide. The Pakistani occupation state is involved in shredding the blood of innocent Baloch civilians on daily basis. Every aspect of life in Balochistan has been destroyed, the economic rights have been snatched and people have been forced to uproot, leading an economic crisis among Baloch population. We urge the Baloch nation, organizations and other individuals to step up, resist, protest and highlight the Kuntani massacre.
