Baloch Yakjehti Committee Protests Secret Trials and Rights Violations in Balochistan

Analysed 21 Jun 2026·3 sources analysed·Quetta, Pakistan·social
Baloch Yakjehti Committee Protests Secret Trials and Rights Violations in BalochistanPreviousNext

The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) has intensified efforts against alleged human rights violations in Balochistan, including enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and secretive 'faceless trials.' BYC activists distributed pamphlets across several cities to raise awareness of these issues and the detention of their leaders. Detained BYC leaders continue protesting inside Quetta's Huda Jail, opposing court proceedings conducted via video links without public hearings, which they and their families argue undermine legal rights and transparency.
