Quetta: Even as the world continues to fight COVID-19 outbreak, it seems torture on people of Balochistan in Pakistan continues and in the latest episode the victim of the barbaric activity is a four-year-old girl, Bramsh.

The incident occurred in Turbat city of the country where the baby girl was reportedly shot and hurt by state-backed local gang of robbers.

Her mother Maliknaz was killed by the attackers.

One of the thugs caught by family members admitted they were sent to Bramsh’s home by Sameer Sabzal, a man who leads one of the many death squads in Turbat for Pakistan’s Military Intelligence and is a member of the ruling party, reported Balochistan Times.

Kech has remained  a hotbed of these death squads.

Central Information & Cultral Secretary of Baloch National Movement Dil Murad Baloch tweeted: "The little Bramsh got bullets on her innocent body and wounded, her brave mother embraced martyrdom while resisting against a robbery of Pakistani MI personnel in Dannuk Turbat. This incident is a new chapter in the history of Baloch resistance. #JusticeForBramsh."

President of Balochistan National Party Akhtar Mengal posted, "It’s not a crime to kill innocent children, young students, elderly, and women in Balochistan. Will there ever be justice for Bramsh and her mother. Or will the Baloch people be left on the mercy of the establishment’s proxies. @ImranKhanPTI

Human Rights activist Zeemal Baluch posted: "After successful operation of Bramsh in Karachi hospital, when she came in her senses she started crying and asking for her mother. Seeing her in this condition anyone's heart can melt but those who killed her mother and injured her aren’t human. #JusticeForBramsh."

Karima Baloch, chairperson of the Baloch Students Organization Azad, tweeted: "The tragedy with little Bramsh is so painful I can’t even look at her photos & videos. How can you can shoot at a 4-year-old child, & kill her mother? One shooter was caught by family members & he admitted he was an asset of Pakistan’s Military Intelligence #JusticeForBramsh."
