Military forces stationed at Chah-Shahi checkpoint in the Hashbandi area of Minab County have destroyed and broken the windows of an unladen Sukhtbari vehicle.
According to Kolbarnews, on Sunday, July 21, 2024, military forces from the Chah-Shahi village checkpoint in Hashbandi, Minab County, pursued an unladen Sukhtbari vehicle.
After the driver fled, they proceeded to destroy and break the windows and body of the vehicle before abandoning it at the scene.
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.
