A Baloch Sukhtbar was injured following a car overturn in Dashtyari County.
According to Kolbarnews, on Friday, August 16, 2024, a Sukhtbar in Dashtyari County was injured due to a car overturn. The injured individual has been identified as Kazem Jadgal, a 22-year-old resident of the village of Beno in Dashtyari County.
The report states that Kazem’s car veered off the road and overturned on Friday afternoon on the Majiro Road, part of Dashtyari County. The accident resulted in serious injuries to the Sukhtbar, who is currently unconscious and being treated in the intensive care unit at Imam Ali Hospital in Chabahar.
Sukhtbari is considered an unconventional and hazardous job that many Baluch people in Baluchistan are forced into due to the lack of suitable and stable employment. Accidents, vehicle rollovers, and direct shootings by military and security forces are some of the dangers that Sukhtbars face.
According to reports from Baluch activists, in the first six months of 2024, at least 133 Baluch Sukhtbars have died from shootings by military forces, traffic accidents, and vehicle fires, with another 80 injured in these incidents, including nine children.
