A Sukhtbar passed away in Iranshahr Hospital after enduring injuries from a road accident for two months.
According to Kolbarnews, on Tuesday, September 24, 2024, a Baloch Sukhtbar, who had been in a coma for two months following a vehicle rollover on the Iranshahr-Sarbaz road, died in Hospital in Iranshahr.
The Sukhtbar has been identified as Hamid Zardkouhi, son of Baran, a father of four, and a resident of Azmanabad village in Iranshahr.
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.
