Warning from Baloch Liberation Movement to Pakistan: Prisoner Exchange in 48 Hours, Otherwise Hostages Will Be Executed
Following the attack on the "Jaffer Express" train on Tuesday in the Bolan region, the Baloch Liberation Movement issued an official statement, announcing that 214 personnel of Pakistan's security forces, including military, police, and intelligence agency members, have been taken hostage.
Weezha Roz-Kabul-The group has given the Pakistani government 48 hours to initiate the process of prisoner exchange, warning that if this demand is not met, all hostages will be executed.
In a statement released today, the Baloch movement emphasized: “We will only release the hostages if Pakistan frees our prisoners.”
Pakistani authorities have confirmed that during the attack on the train, initially, 450 people were detained. However, after further investigation, the number of hostages was reduced to 214, with the remaining individuals being released.
The Baloch Liberation Movement has been fighting for the autonomy of Pakistan’s Balochistan region for years and has consistently criticized the extensive presence of security forces in the area.
Reports indicate that hundreds of members and supporters of the movement are being held in Pakistani prisons.
This attack and the recent declaration have escalated tensions in Balochistan, raising concerns about a potential intensification of armed conflicts.
No official response has yet been issued by the Pakistani government to this warning.
