On September 29, 2012, Abdul Razzaq, who lives in Khuzdar district, Balochistan, received the news that his brother, Abdul Haq Baloch, had been killed by unknown individuals. Abdul Razzaq shares that his brother had been a journalist for ten years and was working with a private TV channel at the time of his death.

“A banned organisation accused my brother of having connections with separatists and threatened him. They later clarified that his name was mistakenly included in the statement,” says Abdul Razzaq.

He further states that some motorcyclists shot Abdul Haq dead six months later. This incident occurred at 6 pm on Chakar Khan Road.
