[Pakistan] Protests: 평화로운 시위

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On March 31, 2025, Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) and Baloch activists staged a peaceful protest in Nok Kundi city, Chagai district, Balochistan province, during Eid celebrations. The demonstration targeted alleged enforced disappearances and arrests of Baloch persons, including BYC leaders, and government crackdowns on protesters.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. Balochistan province has historically experienced separatist tensions that could potentially affect cross-border trade with Afghanistan and Iran if unrest spreads beyond localized peaceful demonstrations.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation beyond peaceful protest or spread to other cities in Balochistan province
• Track government response and potential impact on regional security conditions
• Watch for independent media confirmation of the event and broader activist movement developments
