In yet another disturbing display of institutionalized repression, the hearing of Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) leadership: including Dr. Mahrang Baloch, Beebow Baloch, Gulzadi Baloch, Beebarg Baloch and Sibghatullah Shahjee, was held inside prison premises today instead of an open courtroom. In this closed proceeding, the judicial remand of all detained BYC leaders was further extended for ten days.
This shift to jail hearings marks a grave and deliberate attempt to suppress transparency, exclude public scrutiny, and further institutionalize the criminalization of peaceful political dissent in Balochistan.
By moving the proceedings behind prison walls, the state effectively bars families, journalists, and neutral observers from witnessing the process which is a direct violation of Pakistanโs own constitution and international standards on fair trial and due process.
Since their arrest in March 2025, following a peaceful protest demanding justice for victims of enforced disappearances, BYC leadership has been subjected to a continuous chain of illegalities: unjustified extensions of remand, and repeated denial of access to their legal representatives.
