The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) central leader, Dr. Sabiha Baloch, addressed a press conference on the recent illegal detention of Dr. Mahrang Baloch, the enforced disappearance of Beebagr and others, and today’s brutal crackdown by security forces on peaceful protesters. The press conference took place at the funeral of Habib Baloch, who was killed by security forces while protesting. During the presser, BYC reiterated its demands and announced that the sit-in would continue until these demands were met.
After the arrest of Dr. Mahrang Baloch, the central organizer of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee, protests have intensified. Following the central call of the Baloch Unity Committee, a wheel jam and shutter-down strike is ongoing across Balochistan against state oppression and brutality. Meanwhile, the protests against the arrest of Dr. Mahrang Baloch and his companions, as well as the desecration of the martyrs’ bodies, have significantly increased across Balochistan. In Quetta, the state and its machinery, including the police, intelligence agencies, and all security forces, have intensified their crackdown. The internet and mobile networks in Quetta have been continuously shut down, and there is a complete media blackout.
As per the central call, a complete shutter-down and wheel jam strike is also ongoing in Nushki. The Nushki administration has deployed baton-wielding and armed personnel at the station and is continuously harassing peaceful protesters.
