In an incident where a Sukhtbari boat was run over by Kouhestak maritime forces at Kargan Port, two Baloch Sukhtbars were killed and injured.
According to Kolbarnews, on Wednesday, October 9, 2024, a Sukhtbari boat was struck by Kouhestak maritime forces at Kargan Port, leading to the death of one Baloch Sukhtbar and the injury of another.
The deceased has been identified as Hamzeh Mallahi, and the injured Sukhtbar as Younes Mallahi, both residents of Kargan Port, Minab County.
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.
