Assault by the Chabahar Police Commander on a 15-year-old girl
A 15-year-old girl living in one of the villages of Chabahar was sexually assaulted by Colonel Ebrahim Kuchakzai, the Chabahar police commander, during an interrogation on the 10th of Shahrivar. It is said that the interrogation was related to the suspicious death of the girl’s neighbor.
This incident was first reported by media activists three days ago. Now, the Hal Vash news agency reports that three days after the news was released, not only have the authorities not responded to public opinion and the victim’s family, but pressure on Baloch activists demanding accountability on this issue has also increased.
The news agency writes:
The judicial and police authorities of Chabahar have not only failed to give a proper response to public opinion but have also made phone calls threatening to fabricate charges and arrest Baloch activists who are demanding investigation and justice in this case.
The Hal Vash organization has obtained information that Baloch representatives, trusted clerics, and influential figures in the region have been informed of the occurrence and truth of this crime. However, due to pressure from the police force on some of these individuals from the mentioned groups, they have remained silent up to this point.
According to most Baloch activists, this silence from the Baloch representatives, trusted clerics, and influential figures has allowed the police force more freedom to conceal this crime and to threaten activists who are demanding attention to this issue and the implementation of justice.
