Authorities in Pak-occupied-Balochistan have intensified their crackdown on individuals involved in the preparations for Baloch Raaji Muchi (Baloch national gathering).
In Hub Chowki, an industrial city in POB, police have filed First Information Reports (FIRs) against relatives of missing persons and leaders of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) and Voice for Baloch Missing Persons. Among those named in the FIRs are Sammi Deen, daughter of missing Dr. Deen Muhammad, and Mahzaib, niece of missing Rashid Hussain.
Law enforcement officials allege that they have engaged in hate speech against Pakistan, distributed anti-Pak literature, and participated in wall graffiti. These actions have prompted legal measures to be taken against them.
Meanwhile, preparations for Raaji Muchi continue across POB, despite reported harassment and arrests by local authorities. In Washuk district, police have detained several individuals for being involved in collecting donations for the event. This action has led to public protests, with residents blocking Allah Akbar Chowk in response to the youth arrests.
The crackdown has extended beyond Pak-occupied-Balochistan’s borders. In Karachi, four members of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee were reportedly arrested and taken to an undisclosed location. Their whereabouts remain unknown at the time of reporting.
Earlier, Pak establishment has threatened transport companies, warning them not to provide buses for the Baloch National Gathering scheduled for July 28 in Gwadar. Additionally, the Kech district administration has also banned the collection of donations for the event.
