[Pakistan] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 2, 2025, Baloch activists staged a peaceful protest in Panjgur district, Balochistan, during Eid celebrations, demonstrating against alleged enforced disappearances and arrests of Baloch persons and crackdown on protesters. The event is classified as low severity with no corroborating news coverage.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. Balochistan's strategic location along potential China-Pakistan Economic Corridor routes could become relevant if protests expand, but current activity appears localized to Panjgur district.

Watch points

• Monitor for expansion of protest activity beyond Panjgur district or escalation in severity
• Track any government response measures that could affect broader regional stability in Balochistan
