Balochistan [Pakistan] March 4 (ANI): The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) announced on Tuesday that it had executed seven Pakistani military personnel captured during “Operation Herof II” after receiving approval from its Senior Command Council, The Balochistan Post (TBP) reported.
In a statement, the group said the seven belonged to regular units of the Pakistani armed forces and had been convicted by a self-styled “Baloch National Court” for alleged involvement in enforced disappearances, abuses against civilians, and other war crimes. The BLA said it issued a seven-day ultimatum on February 14 seeking a prisoner exchange, later extending it to 14 days on purported humanitarian grounds.
The group alleged that during the extension Pakistani military authorities were “not serious” about negotiations and that initial talks were a “cunning manoeuvre” to buy time while security operations continued, including use of gunship helicopters, drones, and heavy troop deployments. The BLA said its Senior Command Council concluded the humanitarian extension had been misused to escalate hostilities and target Baloch fighters, and that the Pakistani side “only understands the language of strength and action.”
According to the BLA, the sentences against all seven detainees were carried out on Tuesday in line with the final ruling of the so-called “Baloch National Court.” The group held Pakistan’s military high command responsible for the deaths, accusing it of placing “ego, military misadventures and cunning culture” above the lives of its personnel.
At the time of publication, Pakistani military authorities had not issued an official response to the BLA’s claims. (ANI)
