Turbat (Pakistan), August 11 (ANI): Protests have broken out in parts of the balochistan province of pakistan against security forces to bring about atrocities about civilians.
In the town of Turbat, in the Kech district, protesters held a demonstration chanting slogans against an alleged alliance between Islamic terrorists and the military.
The demonstration was organized by the Baloch Yakjehti Committee to protest the murder of a young man “accused of blasphemy”.
In a video, protesters are seen chanting the slogan “Yeh Jo Mulla-Gardi Hai Is ke Peeche Wardi Hai” (People in military uniform are responsible for atrocities by Islamic terrorists).
A teacher, Abdul Rauf, affiliated with a language center in Balochistan, was accused of committing blasphemy while giving a lecture. He was later shot dead by unidentified gunmen on a blasphemy charge in the town of Turbat.

In another protest in Washuk district, residents of Jhalawar town staged protests after Pakistani Frontier Corps (FC) raided houses.
Locals reported that FC officers forcibly entered numerous homes, breaking boxes and cupboards, and harassing Baloch women. The actions are considered a violation of local cultural norms and traditions.
In response, Jhalwaar residents blocked key roads to traffic, causing significant disruption to transportation.
This recent incident highlights the deep-seated tensions between the local population and the Border Corps in Balochistan.
Regular reports of the FC’s aggressive tactics in the region and its disregard for local customs have heightened the need for a comprehensive reassessment of its role in the region. (ME TOO)
