In an ambush and shooting by regime military forces targeting Kolbars in Sardasht, one Kolbar was killed.
According to Kolbarnews, early on Friday, November 4, 2024, regime forces at the Sardasht border fired on a group of Kolbars, resulting in the death of a Kolbar identified as “Ebrahim Ahmadnejad,” a resident of Mahabad.
The body of the deceased has been transferred to the morgue at Sardasht Hospital and will be sent to Mahabad following administrative procedures.
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.
