Pakistan's handling of protests in Balochistan has drawn severe criticism from international human rights organizations and has escalated tensions within the country.
The government's use of force against peaceful demonstrators in Gwadar and other parts of Balochistan, including opening fire on protesters, has resulted in multiple casualties and a growing number of injuries. This crackdown has not only worsened the situation in what is often referred to as Pakistan's 'problem province' but also risks pushing more Baloch youth towards insurgency. Amidst these developments, Amnesty International has condemned the Pakistani government's actions, highlighting the increasing human rights violations in the region.
The situation is further complicated by economic pressures, as evidenced by protests near the capital over skyrocketing power bills, linked to Pakistan's financial agreements with the IMF.
