Iqra has sought assistance from the European Union, tagging @EUPakistan in her statement.
Earlier in the day, Mary Lawlor, the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Defenders, also strongly condemned the arrest and the violent crackdown on peaceful protesters by Pakistani security forces in Quetta.
In a statement posted on social media platform X, Lawlor expressed deep concern over reports of the arrest of Mahrang Baloch and several other human rights defenders (HRDs) in Balochistan.
Mahrang Baloch, a prominent figure in the human rights movement and a staunch advocate for the rights of the Baloch people, was violently dragged and arrested. Many others were also detained, marking a troubling escalation in the Pakistani authorities' efforts to silence dissent in the region. (ANI)
