Balochistan Human Rights Group (BHRG)
Introduction of Balochistan Human Rights Group (BHRG)
The Balochistan Human Rights Group (BHRG) is an independent and non-profit human rights organization dedicated to documenting and reporting on the human rights situation in Western Balochistan.
BHRG aims to fill the gap caused by the absence of independent media in the region through investigation, effective communication, and the collection of verified and reliable information.
The organization provides accurate, up-to-date, and evidence-based reports on ongoing human rights violations in Balochistan.
Executions of Baloch Citizens
In the past month, at least 13 Baloch citizens were executed in various prisons across Iran.
According to the 2024 annual report of the Baloch Human Rights Organization, at least 111 Baloch citizens were executed throughout the previous year.
These executions are often carried out without fair trials and without access to proper legal defense, highlighting ongoing systemic injustice against the Baloch minority.
Extrajudicial Killings by Iranian Security Forces
In October, at least 3 Baloch citizens were killed and 2 others injured in extrajudicial shootings by Iranian security and police forces.
These killings are not isolated incidents but part of a systematic policy of violence and repression targeting the Baloch community in Iran.
Killings by Unidentified Armed Men
During the same month, at least 15 Baloch citizens were killed and 7 others injured by unidentified armed men.
Many local residents believe these armed groups operate with support or approval from the Iranian authorities, aiming to spread fear and instability in the region.
Fuel Carriers
In October, at least 13 fuel carriers lost their lives, while 7 others were killed and 5 injured as a result of direct shootings by security forces, police, or the Mersad group. An additional 7 individuals were injured in road accidents.
Fuel carrying remains one of the most dangerous sources of income in Balochistan.
Due to widespread unemployment and poverty, many Baloch citizens are forced to risk their lives transporting gasoline and diesel along border routes—facing both deadly road conditions and the constant threat of gunfire from Iranian security forces.
Baloch Rights Alert in Sweden
In Sweden, the Head of the Middle East and North Africa Department of the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs met with Fariba Barahanzahi of BHRG and an anti-execution delegation.
The discussion focused on the alarming rise in Baloch executions, systemic discrimination, and the risks faced by political prisoners in Iran.
Participants called for an end to UNODC cooperation with Iran and urged unified EU action against hostage-taking and state repression.
