Turbat killings: 3 would-be migrants gunned down in Balochistan

QUETTA: Three people were killed when unidentified men opened fire on a hotel in the Mand Balo area of Turbat district in Balochistan, Express News reported on Sunday.

According to Levies’ sources, the three men were sitting at a hotel when unidentified men riding motorcycles opened fire on the hotel.

All three men received fatal wounds and died on the spot.

The men, who were reportedly from Punjab, wanted to enter Greece via Iran illegally.

This is the same area where gunmen killed a group of would-be migrants near the Iranian border in July, killing at least 18 people and injuring another two in what appeared to be an ethnically-motivated attack.

Complete failure of govt. authorities. And shame on local coward thugs. Federal govt. should double the incentives to all Pakistanis who want to establish their new life in remote areas such as Tubat

The twitter world and social media is in utter silence on this issue and this shows how selfish our so called champion of human rights are as they only know how to get fame and attention and for them selective humanitarian work only matters as in this case they will not get attention so they are silent on this issue. I hope some regional Party will take Power in Punjab so that they could took a stance on this issue as PMLN on the name of Pakistan is silent for a longer time on this issue.
