A Baloch Sukhtbar was injured after military forces opened fire on the Sarbaaz to Rask road.
According to Kolbarnews, citing sources from Balochistan, on Monday, August 26, 2024, military forces opened fire on a Sukhtbari vehicle on the Sarbaaz to Rask road.
The Sukhtbar’s identified as 21-year-old Abdulrazagh Hassanzehi, a resident of Pishin, a city in the Rask County, threw himself out of the vehicle and sustained injuries.
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.
