Mahrang Baloch, a prominent figure in the Balochistan protests against Pakistani security forces, criticised the Director-General of Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR), Pakistan for accusing the Baloch Yakjheti Committee (BYC) of being proxies for terrorist organisations.
The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) accused the Pakistani army of suppressing peaceful movements, instead of ending human rights abuses and the Baloch genocide in Balochistan.
The ongoing protest by the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) against atrocities committed by Pakistan security forces on the Baloch people has entered its 9th day. The BYC said that the sit-in will continue until they get justice.
The statement emphasized that local officials, including the Deputy Commissioner of Gwadar and other ministers, lack the authority to conduct meaningful negotiations. The BYC demanded that more powerful and influential figures come to the table to engage in serious discussions with BYC.
The protesters carried out placards condemning the recent crackdown on the Baloch Yakjheti Committee (BYC) and the extreme state violence against peaceful Baloch protesters in Balochistan
Baloch activist Manzoor Baloch has criticised Pakistani security forces for mistreating peaceful Baloch sit-in protesters who were demonstrating against atrocities by the Pakistani state and its security forces.
Baloch activist Mahrang Baloch on Sunday, urged the Pakistan authorities to reopen the major highways, restore internet and mobile services immediately and fulfil the other demands of Baloch protesters.
"The BYC believes that the state prefers the use of force over negotiations. Therefore, on the one hand, the Deputy Commissioner (DC) Gwadar has been sent to negotiate with us, while on the other hand, the worst kind of force is being used," the BYC said in a statement on X.
The Pakistani defence forces have allegedly issued threats to the leaders of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC), warning that they will be shot dead if the sit-in at Gwadar is not ended soon, The Balochistan Post (TBP) reported.
The members of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) organised a vigil on Sunday to honour the people who had lost their lives due to the brutalities of the Pakistani defence forces on the sidelines of the Baloch Raaji Muchi.
