Islamabad - The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC), a leading human rights body, announced on Wednesday that its sit-in protest, which began 36 days ago, is still ongoing in front of the National Press Club in Islamabad, as reported on X. As per the BYC, the families of abducted Baloch leaders have been continuing their protest and have been denied shelter, mistreated, with many of them being elderly women and young children. BYC wrote on X, “Today marks the 36th consecutive day of the Islamabad sit-in by families of Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) leaders and the forcibly disappeared. Despite scorching heat, heavy surveillance, and continuous harassment by authorities, these families, many of them elderly women and young children — remain seated in front of the National Press Club. For more than a month, they have been denied shelter, mistreated, and pushed away from the very space meant for victims to raise their voices. Yet, their resilience stands unbroken. Each passing day of their protest is a testament to their unwavering courage and the collective demand for justice in Balochistan. Their struggle is not only for their loved ones but for every family torn apart by enforced disappearances."
