Quetta, Balochistan News – May 15, 2025: The unlawful detention of prominent Baloch human rights defender Dr. Mahrang Baloch has exceeded 1200 hours, as per an update shared on her official Twitter profile. Supporters and rights activists have renewed calls for her immediate release, citing both legal and humanitarian concerns.
Dr. Mahrang Baloch is internationally recognized for her activism in Balochistan, where she has continuously advocated against enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and systemic human rights abuses. Her growing global recognition includes:
Named in TIME Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2024
Featured in BBC’s 100 Most Powerful Women of 2024
Nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for her unrelenting commitment to justice
A post shared from her official Twitter handle read:
“OVER 1200+ HOURS OF ILLEGAL DETENTION: Raise Your Voice for the Most Enduring Voice of the Voiceless.”
Her continued detention—without charge, trial, or transparency—has raised serious concerns among international human rights organizations. Activists argue that silencing Dr. Baloch reflects a broader pattern of repression in Balochistan, where peaceful resistance is often met with state surveillance and force.
Amid the mounting pressure, voices from across the world are urging democratic nations, the United Nations, and international legal bodies to intervene and hold Pakistan accountable for this prolonged and unlawful imprisonment.
Dr. Baloch’s leadership has been a cornerstone of Baloch civil society, especially for young women advocating peace and justice under militarized governance.
