Analysts estimate the death toll could have crossed 125. The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) said the crackdown, including direct firing and arrests, exposes Pakistan's 'oppressive system' and called on the UN and global community to intervene. Shalee Baloch of the Baloch Women Forum said the people's struggle cannot be suppressed by force. The Baloch Voice for Justice described the crackdown as the worst example of oppression and inhuman behaviour. The activists have urged international human rights bodies to take serious notice of the violence, extrajudicial measures, and restrictions on civil liberties in PoK. ## Coverage - thehansindia.com This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
