Pakistani human rights group warns of state-backed drug trade in Balochistan, fueling social unrest.

A human rights group in Pakistan, the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC), has raised concerns over widespread drug dealing and abuse in Balochistan, particularly in Mastung district. The group alleges that the drug trade operates with the state's backing. Balochistan faces additional issues including weak governance, poor law enforcement, and a high rate of poverty, contributing to ongoing social unrest marked by abductions and killings.
