A Baloch Sukhtbar was injured in a road accident in Sarbaz County.
According to Kolbarnews, on Monday, October 7, 2024, a Sukhtbar was injured following the overturn and fire of a vehicle in the village of Machkor, located in Sarbaz County.
At the time of reporting, the identity of the injured Baloch Sukhtbar unknown, though his condition is reported to be stable.
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.
