Baloch activist Mahrang Baloch appeals to human rights organisations to take notice of internet blackout in Dalbandin Pakistan

1 comment

1. SS: Baloch activist Mahrang Baloch has called on human rights organizations to address the ongoing internet blackout in Dalbandin, Balochistan. She urged the immediate restoration of internet services to protect the fundamental rights of the Baloch people, emphasizing concerns that the blackout—imposed just before Baloch Genocide Remembrance Day—could lead to a crackdown on peaceful gatherings and suppress dissent.

   Baloch activists fear that the blackout may be part of a broader pattern of repression, similar to a previous incident in Gwadar where internet restrictions were imposed during a national gathering. The Baloch Youth Conference (BYC) organizers are particularly worried about the potential suppression of their activities and the inability to document human rights violations due to the communication shutdown.

   Mahrang Baloch urged the international community to intervene and put pressure on authorities to restore services, arguing that such censorship sets a dangerous precedent.
