NEWS CENTER - Baloch Solidarity Committee announced that journalist Mohammad Usman Khan was abducted and disappeared for sharing footage of attacks against Baloch people.

 

Baloch Solidarity Committee (BYC) made a statement on the abduction and disappearance of journalist Mohammad Usman Khan, who was following the protests of Balochs over the abduction of female members of the families demanding the funerals of 10 Balochs killed by Pakistani forces. In a statement released on its virtual media account, BYC stated that journalist Khan, who was abducted by uniformed men in a car on 26 March in the store where he was shopping and has not been heard from so far, was abducted because he was reporting on the attacks against Baloch. "Usman Khan, who fearlessly reported on Balochistan when many remained silent, has been forcibly disappeared last night from his shop in Quetta."

 

'HE EXPOSED VIOLENCE'

 

"During Baloch Raji Muchi, he exposed the brutal violence of security forces on the BYC caravan in Mastung" the statement said, adding that journalist Khan had shared footage of Pakistani soldiers attacking the BYC activists' civilian vehicle. Statement reads: "Amid the recent Quetta crackdown, he continued to document state repression. Beyond these events, his reporting on Balochistan has remained unbiased, courageous, and uncompromising—and now, he has been punished for it. The enforced disappearance of journalists is yet another attempt to silence the truth. But we refuse to be silenced."

 

Virtual media accounts also shared Khan's videos showing military violence.
