The Baloch Yakjehti Committee strongly criticized the Pakistani authorities for targeting Baloch civilians unjustly, leading to enforced disappearances despite their adherence to the law. Since March 18, numerous arrests and fabricated cases have been made against BYC leaders and others, with many protesters facing arrests and legal implications. Although some have been released on bail, they are still involved in ongoing court proceedings.
Amid these events, two civilians, Miraj and Abdul Ghaffar Kheyzai, were forcibly disappeared while attending court hearings, raising concerns about the state’s rejection of its own legal system. The BYC emphasized the alarming nature of these disappearances and the continuous harassment faced by its members.
Sabiha Baloch, a central leader of BYC, highlighted the deteriorating humanitarian crisis in Balochistan, urging people to recognize the attempts to erase their identity. She pointed out that the oppression by Pakistani authorities stems from the Baloch people’s rightful claim to their land, inherited from their ancestors.
Addressing the disappearances of Baloch women like Mahjabeen, Nasreen, Haseena, Khadija, and Hair-un-Nisa, Sabiha Baloch condemned the cruelty inflicted on them without any proven crimes. She emphasized that the Baloch people face brutality due to their courage in resisting atrocities and speaking out against injustices.
Sabiha Baloch warned against silence and inaction, urging the people of Balochistan to raise their voices, resist, and act against the ongoing oppression, emphasizing the importance of not remaining silent in the face of adversity.
