The Baloch National Movement (BNM) organised a protest in Bremen, Germany, where protesters accused the Pakistani government of enforced disappearances, custodial killings and collective punishment in Balochistan province. They called on the international community and human rights organisations to intervene, citing fresh allegations of military raids and civilian abuses in Gwadar district. Protesters alleged that Pakistani authorities were carrying out large-scale collective punishment against the people of Balochistan, including enforced disappearances and custodial killings. They claimed that homes were being demolished and families were being forcibly displaced. Protesters highlighted the psychological toll of enforced disappearances on families, stating that the uncertainty created by enforced disappearances develops into deep psychological trauma. They also alleged that families of political activists face sustained pressure beyond the disappearance of their relatives, including psychological, financial and social harm. Protesters claimed that the Pakistan Army had carried out repeated raids in Panwan village and surrounding areas of Gwadar district, demolishing several homes and subjecting more than 60 people to enforced disappearance. They also alleged that five of those who had disappeared were later killed in custody and their bodies dumped. The BNM described the broader situation in Balochistan as increasingly isolated from international scrutiny, saying that the province had become a 'media black hole'. They alleged that Panwan had repeatedly been targeted by the Pakistan Army in recent years, with numerous young men from the area disappearing for prolonged periods. The BNM also alleged that military operations along Gwadar's coastal belt were driven not only by efforts to counter the Baloch insurgency but also by a bid to tighten control over lucrative international smuggling routes. They claimed that the Army's smuggling interests along the coast were a major driver of these actions. The BNM concluded the protest by appealing to neighbouring countries, the international community and human rights organisations to recognise what it described as the deteriorating situation in Balochistan and take steps to halt the 'genocide of the Baloch nation'.
