BALOCHISTAN, June 22: The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) has held a three-day sit-in protest outside the Turbat Press Club against the illegal detention of its key leaders, including Bebarg Baloch.
The protest demands the immediate release of central organizers who are “illegally detained by Pakistani authorities.”
The sister of Bebarg Baloch, a central BYC leader, expressed her unjust treatment and the tragic events of March 2, 2010, when the Baloch Culture Day event was attacked by Pakistani forces, injuring him so severely that he lost his ability to walk permanently.
Currently, Bebarg is subjected to repeated mistreatment inside jail by the Superintendent Police under pressure from Pakistani agencies.
High Court Balochistan senior advocate Majeed Dashti condemned the detention of BYC leaders and urged their immediate and safe release.
Human rights groups have long accused Pakistani authorities of using enforced disappearances and abductions in Balochistan to suppress dissent. (ANI)
