The Balochistan Human Rights Group (BHRG) is an independent, non-profit human rights organization dedicated to documenting and reporting human rights violations in Western Balochistan. In the absence of independent media, BHRG provides verified, up-to-date information through field investigations and reliable documentation.
In December 2025, BHRG documented serious and widespread human rights violations against Baloch citizens in Iran. At least 9 Baloch prisoners were executed in Iranian prisons, mostly on drug-related or murder charges, reflecting the continued disproportionate use of the death penalty against the Baloch minority.
During the same period, at least 8 Baloch civilians were killed in extrajudicial shootings by Iranian security and police forces, highlighting a systematic pattern of violence. Additionally, 19 Baloch citizens were killed and 9 others injured by unidentified armed men, groups widely believed by local residents to be linked to or supported by state authorities.
BHRG also recorded the deaths of at least 9 Baloch fuel carriers, including victims of direct gunfire by Iranian security forces, and injuries caused by Taliban forces. Fuel carrying remains a highly dangerous means of survival driven by poverty and unemployment in the region.
Furthermore, Iranian authorities carried out large-scale demolitions of Baloch homes and farmlands in late December, including the destruction of dozens of houses in Nasi village near Zahedan, forcibly displacing families despite legal ownership documents.
Finally, on December 28, at least 12 undocumented Baloch families—including women and children—were arrested in Yazd Province and transferred to detention facilities, facing possible deportation despite ongoing legal cases and valid documentation.
BHRG continues to monitor and report these violations and urges international human rights bodies to take immediate action.
