Amer Ramesh

Amer Ramesh was a young Baluch man from Belingi, a village in the Pirsohrab district of Chabahar. People close to him said he lost his father at 14, worked alongside his brothers, and hoped to go to university. On the night of October 2, 2024, security forces raided an herbal shop in Belingi with light and semi-heavy weapons. According to Baluch rights groups, Amer was inside the shop when an armed car being chased by security forces stopped outside, and he was shot and wounded. His family was first told he had been killed. Days later, state media aired a confession video in which bruising around his eye was clearly visible. The Revolutionary Court in Zahedan sentenced him to death for baghi (armed rebellion) through bombings and ambushes, and for membership in Jaish al-Adl and the Baloch Justice Seekers Movement. His family was not allowed to see him for eight months. Rights groups say security agents told them he would be executed unless his brother abroad surrendered. The Supreme Court upheld the sentence, and Amer was hanged in Zahedan Central Prison on April 26, 2026, without a final visit with his family. He was buried that night in his home village.
