A Baloch Sukhtbar lost his life in a traffic accident on the Rigan highway.
According to Kolbarnews, citing Balochistan sources, on Monday, May 27, 2024, a Baloch Sukhtbar died following a collision and subsequent fire in his vehicle on the Bam to Iranshahr highway in the Rigan area.
The identity of the Baloch Sukhtbar has been confirmed as Mostafa Morshed, 21 years old, son of Ali, residing on Malek Ashtar Street in Zahedan.
Sukhtbari is considered one of the unconventional and dangerous jobs that many Baloch people in Balochistan have resorted to out of lack of suitable and stable employment. Accidents, vehicle overturning, and direct shootings by military and security forces are some of the dangers that threaten the lives of Sukhtbars in this profession. According to reports from Baloch activists in 2023, at least 172 Baloch Sukhtbars lost their lives due to shootings by military forces, traffic accidents, and vehicle fires, and 42 others were injured in these incidents, including 11 children
