In the middle of the night of Dec 24-25, more than 12 gunship helicopters started shelling on the Mehi village in the area of Mashkay in the Awaran district of Balochistan. About 100 homes were destroyed. Army jets bombarded another village, Gajli, on Dec. 26 and around 90 homes were destroyed.

Human rights activists demand the Pakistani government: stop the military action in three different districts of Balochistan; withdraw the siege of villages under the control of different units of the army; hand over the bodies of the those villagers who were killed during the aerial bombardments and land actions to the bereaved families, release the persons arrested by the military units; pay compensation for the houses affected by bombardment; provide the best medical treatment to the injured persons and make quick arrangements for the provision of food and water to the affected villages;

Also conduct a judicial inquiry and prosecute the military personnel who were involved in the killings.
