Balochistan: Three pro-freedom Baloch shot dead within a week

ZAHEDAN: Three pro-freedom Baloch who had sought refuge in Iranian occupied Balochistan (IOB) were shot dead in a span of one week.

The latest victim of target killing was identified as Akeel Murad Baloch resident of Awaran Pakistan Occupied Balochistan (POB). He was shot dead on Aaspech region of Saravan city in Iranian occupied Balochistan on Sunday.

Sources further reported that the attackers who were driving a sky blue Peugeot car fled from the scene after the crime.

It is also important to mention that the victim was attacked near a check post of Iranian forces in the jurisdiction of Kheyaban Murshid police station.

Five days ago another pro-freedom Baloch, master Ali, was also shot dead in Saravan and prior to that Rahmdil Baloch was killed in a similar attack in Chahbahar port city in Balochistan.

This is not the first time that pro-independence Baloch have been target killed in Iranian occupied Balochistan, earlier also several Baloch were shot dead in different cities.

Baloch analysts with a keen eye on Baloch freedom struggle believe that Iranian state has a hand in these killings. As both Iran and Pakistan’s only aim is to weaken and defeat the aspirations of Baloch people from the freedom from these occupiers.
