Increasing security around Saindak may protect the project temporarily, but it does not address the deeper challenges behind instability in Balochistan.

Today marks a significant step in our ongoing legal battle for justice and fundamental human rights. During today's proceedings at the Balochistan High Court (BHC), official notices were issued regarding the appeals we have filed. These appeals directly challenge the unjust life sentences imposed on my sister, Dr. Mahrang Baloch, and Sibghatullah Shahji for their unwavering peaceful advocacy for human rights in Balochistan.

We were deeply encouraged by the presence of Mohsin Dawar, who attended the BHC proceedings today in a show of solidarity. I want to extend my deepest and most respectful gratitude to him for standing with us. His presence is a support for us and a reminder that we are not alone in this struggle.

In a concurrent development, the Supreme Court of Pakistan has also taken up the matter of the detained Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) leaders. The Supreme Court has formally issued notices concerning three separate bail petitions filed on behalf of Dr. Mahrang Baloch, Beebagr Baloch, and Beebow Baloch. We look to the higher judiciary to deliver true justice in this case, which is absolutely essential to maintaining and restoring the public’s trust in this legal system.

پروپیگنڈا، سوشل میڈیا کے جعلی اکاؤنٹس، بوٹس کے ساتھ ٹوئٹر اسپیس اور پنجاب سے صحافیوں اور ٹک ٹاکرز کو کوئٹہ بلا کر آپ شاید اسلام آباد اور پنجاب کو یہ باور کرا سکیں کہ بلوچستان میں سب کچھ ٹھیک ہے لیکن آپ چین اور بیرک مائننگ کو کیا چورن بھجیں گے؟

This is the predictable outcome of policies that prioritise force over political engagement. Years of militarised responses have failed to resolve the conflict, instead deepening mistrust and contributing to an increasingly volatile security situation.

The BLA has released photos & details of 5 Majeed Brigade members, claiming 2 also previously took part in Op Herof Phase II on the Quetta front. This raises key questions about security procedures & movement in heavily guarded Quetta. Major gaps in Pakistan's strategic framework

[Mahain Baluch @MahainBaluch]

In 2011, the BLA's Majeed Brigade carried out its first attack by targeting Shafiq Mengal on Karam Khan Road in Quetta, accusing him of leading a Death Squad. Sixteen years later, the group has again targeted Mengal's residence in Khuzdar. Mengal reportedly survived both attacks.

Earlier reports have alleged that ex-Afghan security personnel are being sheltered in parts of BLN, with critics claiming this could have implications for future conflicts in Afghanistan. Such allegations remain disputed & highlight the complex security landscape of the region.

[Mahain Baluch @MahainBaluch]

BYC leader Dr Mahrang Baloch has alleged that the involvement of ex-Afghan military personnel in what she describes as the “genocide of the Baloch people” in Balochistan is a matter of serious concern. The claim adds to ongoing debates over security policies & regional dynamics.

Two brothers, Imam and Mohammad Umar, residents of Soro, Mand, were found dead after being allegedly detained by Pakistani forces on Friday while travelling from Jiwani to Mand. The bodies were recovered by police and handed to their families.

Within 10 days, 30 police personnel, including two officers, have been killed in Balochistan: 27 in Ziarat, 2 in Noshki, & 1 today in Khuzdar. Do these repeated attacks raise questions about the state's security dominance & the effectiveness of its current strategy in the region?

[Saeed Buzdar @saeed_Baluch95]

Police Constable Manzoor Ahmed Hamzalzai was shot dead by unidentified armed men in Killi Sher Jan, Wadh town, Khuzdar district, Balochistan. The killing sparked protests, with family members blocking the Quetta–Karachi Highway.

[Mahain Baluch @MahainBaluch]

Ealier, Pakistan's Army Chief said Baloch militant strength was around 1,500. This year, the ISPR says over 6,00 militants have been killed. If both figures are accurate, what explains the continued operational tempo & expansion of insurgent activity? The numbers invite scrutiny.

[Mahain Baluch @MahainBaluch]

Pakistan's military says it has killed over 6,00 militants this year. If accurate, a key question remains: how are militants still expanding the scale, frequency & geographic reach of their ops? The battlefield picture appears more complex than casualty figures alone suggest.

[The Bolan News @TBN_Balochistan]

Five residents of Punjab were killed when unidentified armed assailants opened fire in Mashkel, a border area of Balochistan.
According to official sources, the incident took place at a shop where armed men riding motorcycles opened indiscriminate fire, killing five people on the spot.
