Following allegations of torture and maltreatment of detained Baloch Yakjehti Committee ( BYC ) leaders by Pakistani authorities, protests erupted on Friday in Balochistan and parts of Karachi, according to The Balochistan Post.
In response to rumours that three well-known officials, Mahrang Baloch, Beebow Baloch, and Gulzadi Baloch, were subjected to harsh treatment while being held in custody, the BYC organized the presentations. Family members and activists allege that Beebow Baloch was detained for several hours incommunicado by Counter-Terrorism Department ( CTD ) officers before being forcibly transferred to Pishin Jail. In a number of locations, protests took position.
