Dr. Mahrang Baloch became a voice for thousands of Baloch families searching for fathers, brothers, sisters, and children lost to enforced disappearances and state violence under the Pakistan regime. For years, she carried the stories of a people whose suffering rarely reaches the world’s headlines. She became mother to her voiceless people, leader to her oppressed nation and is now being punished by the Pakistani government for her courage and voice.
Her punishment is life imprisonment. Yet her imprisoning does not end the story of Baluch people and their suffering. It is rather a reminder of the ongoing plight of the Baloch people, whose demands for justice, accountability, and basic human rights continue to be ignored.
Stand with Dr Mahrang, demand her freedom and stand with Balochistan. As Kurds we stand with Dr Mahrang and all of Baluchistan in their demand for freedom!

"The Red Scream of Balochistan: The Acceleration of the Death Machine and the Exposure of Traitors"
Today in Balochistan, we are not facing normal deaths or isolated tragic incidents; we are breathing in the midst of a silent Holocaust and a brutal, engineered genocide. The occupying armies and terrifying security apparatuses (such as Pakistan's ISI and Iran's IRGC) are bent on the complete destruction of the identity, history, and generation of the Baloch nation, accelerating this killing machine every day. The time for secrecy and futile diplomacy is over; the name of the oppressor and the traitor must be screamed aloud!
*Geography of Blood: Terror Squads in Mastung, Saravan, and Across the Homeland*
The discovery of the lifeless and tortured bodies of our youth, two by two in the valleys, is only a small corner of this manufactured hell. Greater Balochistan, from Makran to Saravan, from Quetta to Zahedan, has become the slaughterhouse of our children. The "Kill and Dump" policy, directed by the Pakistani Army and the terrorist IRGC, claims the lives of dozens of our elites, fuel-carriers (Sochtbaran), youth, and freedom fighters daily. They have stained our vast land with the blood of our youth to plunder our wealth and our ocean.
*Exposing Local Traitors: Eternal Disgrace upon the Foreheads of Informers and Homeland-Sellers*
We have received the deepest wound not from the foreigner, but from the traitors within. The names and the shame of those who commit fratricide for a few rupees or tomans, or to receive a mission card and a weapon from the hands of the occupiers, must not remain hidden:
*The Secret Networks of Local Informers and Blood Brokers:* Those who sell the addresses of the homes of fighters and innocent youth to foreign intelligence agencies. You are direct accomplices to every single drop of blood spilled in the valleys and deserts.
*Local Militias and Local IRGC Personnel:* Those who wear the garments of foreign humiliation and point guns at their own nation. History and the future generations of Balochistan will never record your names as protectors of the homeland; your names will be registered alongside war criminals.
*The Court of History Will Not Forgive:* No traitor will find safety in any corner of Balochistan; your black faces will not be cleansed by any water.
*Putting the Dormant Conscience of the International Community on Trial*
To the United Nations, Human Rights Watch, and global powers who have closed their eyes to this systematic savagery: your silence is a green light for the continuation of this genocide. How many thousands of more corpses must be dragged out from the depths of the valleys and forests of Balochistan for your luxurious seats to be shaken? Open your ears; this is the sound of Baloch mothers wailing, shaking the heavens!
*Final Words: Either Death or Awakening!*
Rights are taken, not given. Greater Balochistan will never surrender to this religious and military fascism. Until the last traitor is exposed and the last occupier is driven out of this land, the scream of our resistance will not be silenced.

PAKISTAN: Reacting to the life sentences given by Quetta’s Anti-Terrorism court to Baloch activists Mahrang Baloch and Sibghat Ullah Shah Jee on 22 June, Amnesty International said:
“This verdict, which is an affront to the right to a fair trial, demonstrates how Pakistan’s anti-terrorism laws are being cynically misused to silence peaceful dissent. The conviction and sentence followed an expedited secret trial conducted on jail premises, during which serious concerns were raised over international fair trial standards and due process. No direct evidence was presented linking Mahrang and Shah Jee to the alleged violence.”

Dr. Mahrang Baloch, a globally recognized human rights defender, named among TIME’s 100 Most Influential People and BBC’s 100 Women, has been sentenced to life imprisonment by Pakistan’s military-controlled courts in a fabricated case following a faceless trial.
We urge the @UN , European Union, Canada, USA, human rights organizations, lawmakers, journalists, and defenders of democracy worldwide to demand justice for Dr. Mahrang Baloch @MahrangBaloch_@StateDept@CanadaFP@SecRubio@MarkJCarney@PierrePoilievre
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.
At sixteen, BYC leaders Dr @MahrangBaloch_, saw her father’s mutilated body. Today, she was sentenced to life for fighting so no other Balochistan daughter endures what she did. Her courage highlights her fight for justice and human rights. #MahrangBaloch
The sentencing of prominent Baloch leaders Mahrang Baloch and Subghatullah to two life terms by Pakistani courts without any evidence is a continuation of the state's oppression and tyranny against the Baloch people and an open manifestation of hostility toward the Baloch nation.
قابض پاکستان کی ظلم کی انتہا بلوچستان میں گھر جلا کر بچوں اور عورتوں کو دربدر کرنا پاکستان کی دہشت گرد فوج کے لیے معمول کا کام بن چکا ہے.
بلوچ قوم کو پاکستان کی نسل کشی کی پالیسیوں کے خلاف متحد ہو کر آزادی کو جلد از جلد حقیقت بنانے کے لیے متحد ہونا چاہیے۔
