Balochistan [Pakistan], January 13 : The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) has started a social media campaign #IStandWithBalochMarch to increase support for their movement throughout the world against enforced disappearances of the Baloch people.

The campaign aims to raise awareness of the situation in Balochistan and bring together voices in support of justice, The Balochistan Post reported.

In a statement, BYC called upon people worldwide to join the solidarity campaign.

They emphasised the nonviolent character of their public campaign and voiced worries about purported false information and attempts at internet restriction aimed at the Baloch March.

BYC emphasised the need to dispel false information, alter damaging myths, and raise public awareness of the problems with extrajudicial executions and enforced disappearances in Balochistan.

In a post on X, political activist Mahrang Baloch said that she is "deeply touched" to see Baloch women and children from Malir and Lyari standing against enforced disappearances in Balochistan.

"I am deeply touched to see Baloch women and children from Malir and Lyari standing against enforced disappearances in Balochistan. For years, Lyari has remained the intellectual hub of Baloch nationalism in all its diverse expressions. The way peaceful residents of Lyari were treated and detained by Karachi police on Friday is a sheer violation of the law," she wrote on X.

"I am writing to the United Nations Special Rapporteur about this mistreatment soon. Together, we can stand to stop grave abuses of rights in Balochistan. Be with us and strengthen our fight against this injustice. Thank you, Lyari. Thank you, Malir," she added.
