ڈاکٹر ماہ رنگ بلوچ اور سبغت اللہ شاہ جی کی عمر قید کے فیصلے کے خلاف بلوچستان ہائی کورٹ میں اپیل دائر کردی گئی ہے۔
بلوچ یکجہتی کمیٹی
آج، مورخہ 6 جولائی، بلوچ یکجہتی کمیٹی کے رہنماؤں کی وکلا ٹیم نے ڈاکٹر ماہ رنگ بلوچ اور سبغت اللہ شاہ جی کو سنائی گئی عمر قید کی سزا کے خلاف بلوچستان ہائی کورٹ میں اپیل دائر کر دی۔
بلوچ یکجہتی کمیٹی یہ واضح کرتی ہے کہ یہ فیصلہ غیر منصفانہ ہے اور انصاف کے تقاضوں سے ہم آہنگ نہیں۔ دو سال قبل قتل کا متنازہ مقدمے میں بغیر کسی ثبوت کے فیس لیس ٹرائیل کے زریعے صرف ایک دن کے اندر فیصلہ سنانا اس بات کو عیاں کرتا ہے کہ یہ محض سیاسی انتقام کے لیے رچایا گیا ڈرامہ ہے۔ آج اس فیصلے کو چیلنج کرتے ہوئے بلوچستان ہائی کورٹ سے اسے کالعدم قرار دینے اور انصاف کی فراہمی کی استدعا کی گئی ہے۔
ڈاکٹر ماہ رنگ بلوچ اور سبغت اللہ شاہ جی کے مقدمے میں انسدادِ دہشت گردی عدالت (اے ٹی سی) کی جانب سے سنایا گیا فیصلہ غیر منصفانہ ہے، جس سے یہ تاثر مزید مضبوط ہوا ہے کہ بلوچستان میں انصاف کی فراہمی شدید دباؤ اور محدودیت کا شکار ہے۔
بلوچ یکجہتی کمیٹی بین الاقوامی اداروں، انسانی حقوق کی تنظیموں اور آزاد مبصرین سے اپیل کرتی ہے کہ وہ بلوچستان ہائی کورٹ میں بلوچ یکجہتی کمیٹی کے رہنماؤں کے زیرِ سماعت مقدمے کی براہِ راست نگرانی اور مشاہدہ یقینی بنائیں، تاکہ عدالتی کارروائی شفاف انداز میں آگے بڑھے اور انصاف کے تقاضوں پر کسی بھی قسم کے دباؤ یا مداخلت کا اثر نہ پڑنے دیا جائے۔

Chakar, son of Hassa Bakhsh, a 25-year-old shopkeeper and resident of Baloch Ward, Gwadar, was forcibly disappeared by Pakistani forces during an early morning raid on 12 May 2025. From that day his whereabouts remained unknown. The family was waiting for his safe return.
After over fourteen months of enforced disappearance, Chakar was extrajudicially killed. His body was later recovered bearing severe signs of torture and inhumane treatment. The visible injuries on his body, including extensive facial trauma, shows the brutal violence inflicted upon him during his prolonged detention. Instead of returning him alive to his family, Pakistani forces returned him as another tortured body.
Chakar's killing represents the continued persecution of ordinary Baloch civilians in Gwadar and other areas of Balochistan. A young shopkeeper with no means other than earning an honest livelihood, he became another victim of a policy that has devastated countless Baloch families.
Across Balochistan, fishermen, students, laborers, teachers, and shopkeepers are forcibly disappeared by agencies and forces while their families spend months and years searching for them, only to receive their mutilated bodies.
The killing of Chakar is another reminder of the deepening human rights crisis in Balochistan. The repeated killings of civilians have inflicted lasting trauma across Balochistan. This crisis requires urgent international attention, and the ongoing Baloch genocide must come to an end.

Muhammad Abdul Haq, son of Muhammad Murad, a teacher, school principal, and resident of Mondi, Gwadar, was forcibly disappeared by Pakistani forces during a raid on his home on 24 January 2026. From that day onward, his whereabouts remained unknown. His family spent months searching for him while government officials repeatedly assured them that he would be released, urging them not to raise the case publicly. Those assurances never materialized.
Following the deadly bombing in Jiwani, Pakistani forces extrajudicially killed five forcibly disappeared individuals and dumped their bodies. Muhammad Abdul Haq was among them. After months in custody, he was tortured and killed. His killing shows the recurring pattern in Balochistan in which forcibly disappeared Baloch are later killed and portrayed as militants after major security incidents and failure.
Muhammad Abdul Haq was more than an educator; he was the pillar of a family already devastated by enforced disappearance. He was the uncle of Ali Haider, who, as a child, walked from Karachi to Islamabad in 2013 to demand the return of his father, Muhammad Ramazan, who was forcibly disappeared on the Makran Coastal Highway in July 2010. Sixteen years later, instead of returning Muhammad Ramazan, the state took the life of the man who had responsibility for raising and supporting his brother's children. The same family has now been forced to endure another irreversible loss.
Branding forcibly disappeared individuals as terrorists after killing them neither delivers justice nor addresses the underlying crisis. Instead, it deepens the suffering of families and further erodes public trust. Balochistan has been left without protection, with no one held accountable for these violations, which continue with impunity, leaving victims' families without justice an lifetime of pain.
The international and local community must act urgently to end enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings in Balochistan.

Ali, son of Niyaz Ahmed, was a 24-year-old petrol pump owner from Jusak, Turbat. On 30 June 2026, at around 6:00 PM, Ali was forcibly disappeared from his own petrol pump in Jusak by MI and death squad in two Surf vehicles.
On 6 July 2026, after 7 days of enforced disappearance, Ali’s body was dumped near the CPEC Road in Jusak, Turbat. His body bore multiple bullet wounds and numerous visible signs of severe torture.
After seven days, Ali’s family recovered only his dead body. Before his enforced disappearance, no FIR was registered, and his family was never informed about his whereabouts after disappearence.
This is not just Ali’s story. Across Balochistan, bodies of forcibly disappeared individuals are dumped on an almost daily basis. Extrajudicial killings, targeted killings, and fake encounters have become a recurring pattern. The voices of victims and their families continue to go unheard, while accountability remains absent.
The Baloch Yakjehti Committee appeals to international human rights organizations and the international community to visit Balochistan, investigate reported cases of enforced disappearances and killings, and help ensure accountability. People who raise their voices agaisnt these atrocities faces arrests and multiple FIRs in this region.

Shutter-Down Strike in Gwadar Sends a Message: Resistance Cannot Be Sentenced to Life
24 June 2026 | Gwadar, Balochistan
Today, a complete shutter-down strike was observed in Gwadar against the life imprisonment sentences handed down to Dr. Mahrang Baloch and Sibghatullah Shah Jee Baloch.
The life imprisonment sentences are an attempt to silence voices that have consistently spoken against injustice, enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and the suffering of the Baloch people. BYC leaders are being punished for raising their voices for rights, justice, dignity, and against the Baloch genocide. People across Balochistan strongly reject this decision, viewing it as an attack on the peaceful struggle for rights and justice. Imprisoning voices of resistance will not silence the demands of the Baloch people.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
International Human Rights Foundation (IHRF) Condemns Shameful Life Sentence for Dr. Mahrang Baloch and Sibghatullah Shah by Pakistani Authorities
The Hague, The Netherlands – June 23, 2026 – The International Human Rights Foundation (IHRF) expresses its strongest condemnation regarding the reprehensible life sentence handed down by a Pakistani Anti-Terrorism Court to prominent human rights defender Dr. Mahrang Baloch and her colleague, Sibghatullah Shah .
This verdict is a blatant miscarriage of justice and a devastating blow to the rule of law in Pakistan. Dr. Baloch, a leader of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC), has been a fearless and peaceful voice for the Baloch people, courageously campaigning against enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and state repression in Balochistan . Her only crime is her dedication to exposing grave human rights violations .
The IHRF is deeply alarmed by the egregious procedural irregularities and denial of due process that characterized this “secret trial” . A proceeding that denies the accused the right to effectively cross-examine witnesses or present a proper defense, held in a “faceless court” on jail premises, cannot be considered a legitimate judicial process . This is not justice; it is a politically motivated weaponization of the judicial system to silence dissent and intimidate human rights defenders .
We echo the calls of Amnesty International and other international bodies, who have condemned this verdict as an affront to the right to a fair trial . The state’s cynical misuse of anti-terrorism laws to prosecute peaceful activism represents a dangerous escalation in the crackdown on fundamental freedoms in Pakistan .
The IHRF urges the Government of Pakistan to immediately and unconditionally release Dr. Mahrang Baloch and Sibghatullah Shah, and to ensure their safety and well-being.
We call upon the international community, including the United Nations Human Rights Council, to:
1. Denounce this injustice and place Pakistan under close scrutiny for its escalating human rights violations.
2. Demand transparency in all legal proceedings against human rights defenders and a full investigation into the circumstances of this case.
3. Pressure Pakistani authorities to cease the persecution of peaceful activists and uphold their international obligations regarding due process and fundamental rights.
The IHRF stands in solidarity with Dr. Mahrang Baloch, Sibghatullah Shah, and all peaceful activists in Pakistan who risk their lives for justice and human dignity.

This picture is from the Quetta dharna of 2021. An elderly Amma sits beside Dr. Mahrang Baloch. Mahrang holds her trembling hand and helps her raise a victory sign over the coffin of her grandchildren.
This Amma lost her two grandchildren, Allah Baksh and Sharatoon, when mortar shells fired by the Frontier Corps (FC) hit their home in Hoshab, Kech. Two innocent children were killed. Two small lives were turned into bodies. Two names were added to Balochistan’s long and unbearable register of wounds.
Their family first staged a protest with the children’s bodies at Turbat’s Fida Ahmed Chowk. From there, they marched to Quetta.
Under the leadership of Dr. Mahrang Baloch, the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) organised the Quetta sit-in, and the protest spread across different areas of Balochistan.
After days of dharna, Dr. Mahrang Baloch, along with other women and men, carried the funeral on her shoulder at New Kahan Graveyard, Quetta. They laid the children to rest — not from life, but from the cruelty of a system that could not even protect their childhood.
- Why did Allah Baksh and Sharatoon never get justice?
- Why were their killers not questioned?
- The same silence continues to protect power and in return , they ask us to remain calm.
- How can a people remain calm when their children are killed?
- How can a mother remain silent when her home becomes a grave?
How can Mahrang remain quiet when she carries not only the pain of one family, but the pain of an entire nation?
BYC is the Baloch people’s movement. Sentencing its leadership will not deter us, nor will it silence the voices that gave rise to it. A movement rooted in the people cannot be imprisoned.

Over the last few days, government officials and their supporters have repeatedly claimed that Dr. Mahrang Baloch chose to boycott her trial and refused to defend herself.
This deliberately obscures what actually happened.
On 12 June, the authorities introduced a so-called faceless court system for these proceedings. Under that arrangement, Mahrang and the other accused were expected to face charges carrying life imprisonment without being able to properly communicate with their lawyers, without being able to see the witnesses testifying against them, and without any meaningful public scrutiny of the process.
The public was excluded. Journalists were excluded. Families were excluded.
The accused themselves were denied the ability to effectively confront the case being presented against them.
In response, Mahrang, Sabghatullah Shah Ji, their lawyers, and members of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee publicly objected. For days, they demanded an open trial. They did not ask for special treatment. They did not ask for immunity. They asked to see the evidence. They asked to see the witnesses. They asked for the proceedings to be conducted in a manner consistent with the most basic principles of justice.
They said repeatedly that they were prepared to face every allegation brought against them, but they would not accept a process in which a person could be sentenced to life imprisonment without being afforded the fundamental safeguards of a fair trial.
That position is now being dishonestly recast as a refusal to defend themselves.
It was the opposite.
Mahrang did not refuse a defence. She demanded the right to mount one.
The question is not why she objected to a process in which the accused could not properly communicate with counsel or confront witnesses. The question is why those conditions were imposed in the first place.
A state confident in its evidence does not need to hide its proceedings from public view. It does not need a system in which the accused, their lawyers, journalists, and the public are prevented from seeing what is happening inside the courtroom.
Mahrang’s objection was never to being tried.
Her objection was to being denied a fair trial while being told to call it justice.

آج ایک بار پھر اس ریاست نے بلوچ نوجوانوں کو یہی پیغام دیا ہے کہ اگر تم پُرامن سیاست کرو گے، اپنے حقوق کی بات کرو گے، سوال اٹھاؤ گے اور جمہوری ذرائع سے اپنی آواز بلند کرو گے، تو ریاستی مشینری پوری قوت کے ساتھ تمہیں خاموش کرنے اور کچلنے کی کوشش کرے گی۔
بلوچوں کے لیے یہاں نہ قانون ہے اور نہ ہی انصاف اور اخلاقیات کے وہ اصول موجود ہیں جن کے دعوے کیے جاتے ہیں۔ جو کچھ موجود ہے، وہ طاقت، جبر اور خوف کے بل پر قائم ایک ڈھانچہ ہے۔
