On Tuesday, a similar protest took place in Dalbandin, Balochistan, demanding the immediate release of the victims. Internet services were shut down during the demonstration and Pakistani armed forces used violence to quell the protests.

Baloch Yakjehati Committee further said, “Internet services were closed during the protest. Despite many obstacles, disturbances and challenges created by the state authorities, BYC will stand against oppression and continue its mission of exposing state atrocities.

Earlier, Baloch activist Mehrang Baloch urged the public to join the protest against enforced disappearances. In turn, a large number of residents joined the protests in Chagai District.

BYC has launched the protest under the theme “Breaking the Silence: Standing Against Enforced Disappearances”. The Committee continues to fight against torture and enforced disappearances in the state.

There is a fear-like situation in the state due to continuous disappearances and tactics by Pakistan Armed Forces. But Baloch people stand in solidarity against such steps taken by the forces.
