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.

Arey sahab ! Nepal border par kalabazari aur manmani pr rok lagaiye. Diesel ki killat is baar dhaan ki kheti barbad kr degi.
Petrol ki bhi uplabdhata nahi hai.
Yaha petrol station wale manmarzi kr rhe, petrol nhi de rhe.
It's the reality of most of the fuel stations in Maharajganj District of Uttar Pradesh @myogioffice@myogiadityanath@DmMaharajganj@Uppolice . Why the govt is not doing capping on Diesel and Petrol by adding an I'D card or something ?
Nepal border is famous for black marketing
Burhan Wani, son of a high school teacher, became a terrorist after an altercation with security forces in Kashmir
Samay Raina, along with his parents, was forced to flee his homeland in Kashmir, but he went on to become a stand-up comedian
There is no excuse for terrorism, only motives
This video is for every Iranian 🇮🇷, who doesn't know the Legendary 93,000 Pakistan Army Surrender in 1971 😅
Here's the video of Pant Removal Ceremony of Pakistani Personnels after 93k Surrender at Dhaka 😆
Must watch video 😂
सभी देशवासियों को हनुमान जन्मोत्सव की अनंत शुभकामनाएं। यह पावन अवसर हर किसी के जीवन में नई ऊर्जा और स्फूर्ति लेकर आए। मेरी कामना है कि पवनपुत्र हनुमान जी सभी को बल, बुद्धि और विद्या का भरपूर आशीर्वाद दें, जिससे देश का सामर्थ्य और बढ़े। जय बजरंगबली!
India’s growth story is visible in PM Modi’s speeches 🇮🇳
2014: "We must build TOILETS in every village to protect the dignity of our women."
2025: "India must develop its own engines for Made-in-India FIGHTER JETS"💥
Basic dignity -> SELF-RELIANCE
A little Muslim boy in India causally talks about k8lling Hindus to increase their population. This according to Muslims of India is not radicalisation, extremely dangerous and heartbreaking. But a little girl talking about a toy is!

-Muslim guy is victim
-Sikh guy is a joker
-Sikh guy blames Jaat Paat for problems of Muslim guy
-Muslim guy is being tortured by Hindus
28 years later, same propaganda continues by media houses 🤣
From RG Kar to Sandeshkhali and Park Street to Kamduni, TMC has protected perpetrators and denied justice at every step.
34,738 crimes against women were reported in 2023 alone and 27.5% of the country’s acid attack cases occur in West Bengal.
Amit Shah ji, the women of Bengal deserve safety and justice 🙏🏻

Either do capping on buying within a limit or do the best. I'm in my internship period and have to travel and reach a particular hospital within a time limit and I can't be entertained by the time given by fuel stations. Please do necessary sir.
Sir, this is absurd. Please take action against owners of fuel stations for denying petrol and diesel. I literally visited around 7-8 fuel stations and all of them asked me to come at different times, meanwhile people who get a chance at the station are getting a tank full.
जनपद में डीजल, पेट्रोल और एलपीजी की उपलब्धता पर्याप्त है।
जनपद में पेट्रोलियम उत्पादों की नियमित आपूर्ति हो रहे है।
लोग अफवाह में न आएं और आवश्यकता के अनुसार ही पेट्रोलियम पदार्थों की खरीद करें।
होर्डिंग अथवा कालाबाजारी की शिकायत मिलने पर कठोर कार्यवाही की जाएगी।
