Het Two Sukhtbars were injured following a collision between their vehicle and a bus in Qaen County.
According to Kolbarnews, on the night of Saturday, August 31, 2024, a Sukhtbari vehicle collided with a bus traveling from Zahedan to Mashhad on the Nimbolook-Qaen road in Qaen County, South Khorasan Province.
As a result, the two passengers in the Sukhtbari vehicle were injured, with one of them reported to be in critical condition.
As of the time of this report, the identities of the injured Sukhtbars have not been confirmed.
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.
