An introduction of Balochistan Human Rights Group (BHRG)
Balochistan Human Rights Group (BHRG) is an independent, non-profit human rights NGO that works to provide information and fill the gaps caused by the lack of independent media in Balochistan through investigation, effective communication, and gathering reliable documents. BHRG provides relevant, verified and up-to-date information on the human rights situation in Western Balochistan.
Airstrike on Girls’ School in Minab Kills at Least 108 Students
In U.S.-Israel joint airstrikes on February 28, 2026 targeting IRGC positions in southern Iran, the girls’ primary school “Shajareh Tayyebeh” in Minab was directly hit. The school had about 170 female students in the morning shift. According to the Minab prosecutor’s office, at least 108 schoolgirls were killed, many injured, and numerous children trapped under rubble. Rescue operations continued in difficult conditions. This was one of the highest civilian death tolls (mostly children) in attacks that also struck military sites in at least 8 counties and fishing boats in Konarak. Casualty figures remain incomplete due to communication restrictions.
At Least 2 Baloch Prisoners Executed in Iranian Prisons
On February 19, 2026, two Baloch prisoners were executed in Iran. Hassan Narouei (27), from Sarakhs County, was executed in Sarakhs Central Prison for premeditated murder under qisas. Javad Zare Kashani, a married Baloch with three children from Sistan and Balochistan Province, was secretly executed in Torbat-e Heydarieh Prison after his drug-related sentence was increased to death. Both cases raise concerns over due process, fair trial standards, and disproportionate use of capital punishment against ethnic Baloch. No official announcement was made.
Death of a Baloch Citizen in Mehristan Intelligence Detention Center
Abdollah Parki, a 19-year-old Baloch from Kant village (Sib and Suran County), married and father of a six-month-old child, died in Mehristan Intelligence detention center on February 19, 2026, two days after arrest on February 17. He showed signs of severe beating: fractures in mouth, teeth and legs, plus burns on body. Plainclothes agents arrested him in front of a repair shop. Family faced threats when inquiring. No official explanation for arrest, detention conditions or cause of death. (In 2025, at least 9 Baloch died in custody or furlough in Iran, 6 due to lack of medical care.)
