Two Baloch Sukhtbars were killed and injured as a result of direct gunfire from regime military forces at the Rutak border in Mirjaveh.
According to Kolbarnews, on Saturday, October 5, 2024, regime military forces at the Rutak border in Mirjaveh fired directly at several Sukhtbari vehicles, resulting in the death of one Sukhtbar and the injury of another.
The report identifies the deceased as 40-year-old Amin Gangoozehi from Khash, and Gholam-Hossein Rahmatzehi injured in the hand.
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.
