London [UK], February 27 (ANI): The Baloch Advocacy and Studies Centre (BASC) has expressed support and solidarity with the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC), which launched a month-long awareness campaign marking one year since the detention of several of its leaders.
In a post on X, BASC said the campaign commemorates a year since the arrests of Mahrang Baloch, Bebagar Baloch, Sibghatullah Shah Ji, Gulzadi and Beebo Baloch, describing them as human rights defenders who continue to face what it called fabricated charges and a denial of justice.
BASC added that active BYC members remain steadfast with the Baloch people amid what it characterised as political repression and widespread human rights violations. The organisation said the campaign aims not only to highlight the prolonged detention of the leaders but also to draw international attention to a deteriorating human rights situation in Balochistan.
The statement framed the initiative as a call for justice and said it underscored the view that the voices of the oppressed cannot be silenced. BASC endorsed BYC’s appeal for unified, collective efforts to address multifaceted human rights violations affecting the Baloch community, saying that when a state fails to protect the rights, dignity and security of its citizens, silence is not an option.
The post described the campaign as a stand against injustice and the erosion of the rule of law, calling for accountability and reaffirming a humanitarian commitment to justice, dignity and protection of fundamental rights.
Earlier, BYC, in a post on X, alleged a sharp deterioration in the human rights situation in Nushki and Kharan districts during February 2026, citing enforced disappearances, civilian casualties, curfews and communication blackouts. BYC said residents of Nushki and Kharan were cut off from normal social life, healthcare access and livelihoods for eleven consecutive days; although some restrictions were later partially eased, daily activities reportedly remained limited to a few hours.
