The Baloch Yakjehty Committee (BYC) has strongly condemned the arrest of members of the Gilgit-Baltistan Awami Action Committee, saying that the detention of several people, including 70-year-old leader Ehsan Ali, is illegal and reflects serious human rights violations.
A statement issued by the BYC said that the 13 members of the Awami Action Committee are human rights activists, and the organization has termed their arrest as a violation of basic human rights.
According to the statement, there is deep concern over the “implementation of inhumane laws” by Pakistan and its military establishment.
The Baloch Solidarity Committee has demanded that all arrested members be released immediately without any delay.
The statement said that these arrests have raised questions about the human rights situation not only in Gilgit-Baltistan but also in Balochistan.
BYC has appealed to international human rights organizations to play their role in holding Pakistan’s military establishment accountable for human rights violations.
According to the organization, the human rights situation in Gilgit-Baltistan and Balochistan is alarming and requires urgent attention at the global level.
