A Baloch Sukhtbar lost his life in a road accident on the Sib and Soran-Saravan highway.
According to Kolbarnews, on Tuesday, August 20, 2024, a road accident on the Sib and Soran-Saravan highway led to the overturning of a Sukhtbari vehicle, resulting in the Sukhtbar’s death.
As of the time of this report, the identity of the deceased Sukhtbar has not been determined.
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.
