Balochistan Human Rights Group \/ Exclusive Report:<\/strong> Early this morning, Tuesday, July 28, 2026, dozens of military and security forces mounted on military and unmarked vehicles raided the village of Chah Ahmad, located in the Nazil district of Taftan County. During the raid, at least eight Baloch citizens were violently assaulted inside their homes, arrested without judicial warrants, and transferred to an undisclosed location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200bViolent Intrusion and Arrests in Front of Family Members<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u200bAccording to received reports, security forces stormed the victims’ homes around 4:00 AM, severely beating them in front of their family members, including women and children. All those detained are local workers and tradesmen who work in occupations such as mechanics and welding in the Chah Ahmad three-way intersection area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200bThe arrests were carried out without presenting any judicial warrants or stating any charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200bIdentified Detainees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u200bThe identities of seven of the detainees have been confirmed as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • \u200bHamid Shahbakhsh (Ghanbarzehi)<\/strong> \u2014 Son of Showkat<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u200bKamran Shahbakhsh (Ghanbarzehi)<\/strong> \u2014 Son of Showkat<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u200bHabib Shahbakhsh (Ghanbarzehi)<\/strong> \u2014 Son of Showkat<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u200bSaeed Shahbakhsh (Ghanbarzehi)<\/strong> \u2014 Son of Musa<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u200bAkbar Shahbakhsh (Ghanbarzehi)<\/strong> \u2014 Son of Musa<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u200bNaser Shahbakhsh (Ghanbarzehi)<\/strong> \u2014 Son of Musa<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u200bMohammad Shahbakhsh (Ghanbarzehi)<\/strong> \u2014 Son of Nabi<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Note:<\/strong> The eighth detainee is another Baloch citizen, the son of Naser Ghanbarzehi, whose full identity is still being verified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u200bContinued Lack of Information and Family Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    \u200bMany hours after the arrest, the families of these citizens remain completely unaware of their whereabouts, physical condition, or potential charges. Repeated inquiries and visits by relatives to security and judicial institutions have yielded no results so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u200bBackground of the Operation and History of Pressure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    \u200bThis raid follows a prior human rights report from July 8, 2026, which revealed a security meeting held at the IRGC Intelligence building in Zahedan to plan a military operation in the Nazil (Taftan) and Nosratabad (Zahedan) sectors\u2014including the deployment of reinforcement troops from the Zabol IRGC Intelligence unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u200bThis operation occurs after a previous incident on March 15, 2026, when Nematullah Shahbakhsh (Ghanbarzehi)\u2014brother of Saeed, Akbar, and Naser\u2014was shot and killed during a similar security raid on the same village. While state media leveled security allegations against him at the time, his family strongly rejected those claims, stating he had no affiliation with armed groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
