After such a devastating situation, the families had to shift to Mashkay Parwar, but even there the persecution continued.

Earlier on June 14, 2018, the Pakistan Army continued the atrocities against the families in Mashkay Parwar and killed Mubarak, son of Lashkari, and Mohabbate Khan, son of Mubarak. They also targeted and injured Noor-ul-Haq.

The Pakistan Army also killed Muhammad Isa, son of Jangi Khan, injuring his young son, Sameer, in Joongu Mashkai on June 30, 2023.

Recently, Abdul Haq made a video cautiously regarding the persecution of families. Later, this video was published by Zrumbesh News. He used the language carefully in the video but the atrocities were evident.

The spokesperson further stated that thousands of families, including Shaheed Abdul Haq's family, are still suffering the horrible genocide of the Pakistan Army.

Nonetheless, for all the violence that is taking place in Pakistan, the forces have not been able to undermine the loyalty and commitment of the people to their freedom struggle.

Balochistan is suffering from issues like enforced disappearances by the Pakistani armed forces. They are fighting for rights over local resources but the Pakistani army has curbed the movement by violent means. (ANI)
