Execution of Baloch Political Prisoner
According to the Balochistan Human Rights Group, Amer Ramesh, a 19-year-old Baloch political prisoner, was executed at dawn today in Zahedan Central Prison.
Amer Ramesh had previously been subjected to forced confessions, denied access to legal representation, and was held for months without family visits. His trial was conducted under serious due process violations, and his appeal was later rejected by the Supreme Court.
Reports also indicate that security institutions had placed intense pressure on his family, demanding cooperation and attempting to force his brother—an opposition activist abroad—to surrender, in exchange for halting the execution.
His execution raises serious concerns over human rights violations, including the use of torture, denial of fair trial, and coercion of family members.
The arrest, detention, and execution of individuals under such conditions represent a grave breach of fundamental human rights.
