Amnesty International has called for the immediate release of Baloch Yakjehti Committee leaders detained in Pakistan, calling it part of a wider crackdown on peaceful activism. The group raised concerns over torture, denial of medical aid, and misuse of anti-terror laws against Baloch human
The organisation also expressed concern over the "attempted arbitrary detention" of WHRD Sabiha Baloch on 5 April, stating that her family has since been threatened, which seems to be "a direct retaliation for her human rights advocacy in Balochistan."
Experts have voiced deep concern for the welfare of those detained, including Mahrang and Sammi Deen Baloch, and have urged the Pakistani authorities to release all detained activists immediately.
Following the ongoing Baloch genocide and enforced disappearances of Baloch people, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Defenders, Mary Lawlor, held a meeting with the Balochistan Human Rights Defenders, the Balochistan Post reported.
