Baloch Yakjehti Committee calls off a 30 day-long sit-in at NPC in Islamabad

“We will hold a rally in Balochistan on January 27,” said Dr Mahrang Baloch

Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) on Tuesday called off a 30-day-long sit-in carried out in front of the National Press Club (NPC) in Islamabad.

Activist Dr Mahrang Baloch, one of the organisers of the protest, said they are returning to Balochistan from Islamabad.

“We will hold a rally in Balochistan on January 27,” she added.

As reported, the development comes a day after NPC Islamabad on Monday lodged a complaint at the Kohsar Police Station requesting to remove the Baloch protesters from the open park in front of the NPC.

According to the NPC administration, the protesters’ sit-in had been going on for over two months, causing financial loss as the people belonging to political and social sectors, avoided holding press conferences and other political and social functions at the NPC.

The Baloch protesters had been protesting in Islamabad since December 20, 2023, against the enforced disappearances and extra-judicial killings.
