'State-sponsored death squad' members hold armed pro-Pakistan rally in Turbat

An armed rally took place in Balochistan, Pakistan, featuring masked individuals driving unregistered vehicles and brandishing weapons, in support of a state-sponsored camp in Islamabad led by Jamal Raisani. The rally leader, Dilawar, is allegedly a key figure in state-sponsored armed groups known as 'death squads', accused of criminal activities and human rights abuses. The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) claims their protests aim to dismantle these death squads, but the state is said to be mobilizing them to intimidate supporters of the movement.
