Today, the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) Lasbela region organized a peaceful corner meeting in Rasheedabad, Hub. In a clear attempt to silence dissent, an excessive police force was deployed, which not only harassed the public but also unlawfully arrested three ordinary citizens and transferred them to the police station without justification. When the families of the detained individuals protested this injustice by blocking the road, the police were forced to release the arrested men. BYC declares that no amount of intimidation will deter its struggle. BYC will continue to expose and resist the ongoing Baloch genocide and state repression through grassroots mobilization, political education, and collective action."

Balochistan region remains plagued by a disturbing trend of enforced disappearances, with some victims eventually released, while others endure long-term detention or fall prey to targeted killings. These violations of fundamental rights have fuelled growing insecurity and mistrust among locals.

The persistent fear of arbitrary arrests and the absence of accountability continue to destabilise Balochistan, undermining efforts to restore peace, justice, and public confidence in state institutions.
