A Pakistani court labeled jailed activist Gulzadi Baloch an "absconder," prompting condemnation from the Baloch Yakjehti Committee for undermining justice and targeting dissent.

The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) condemned a Pakistani court's decision to label detained activist Gulzadi Baloch an "absconder" while she remains in state custody, calling the move a contradiction and a mockery of justice. The group said the ruling, which included her in a criminal case and issued new arrest warrants despite her imprisonment, undermines the rule of law and reflects the misuse of the judiciary to suppress dissent. BYC leaders, held for over six months under the Maintenance of Public Order law with repeated detention extensions, accused authorities of violating constitutional rights and using legal mechanisms to target political activists. The organization reaffirmed its commitment to democratic resistance and demanded the immediate release of all detained leaders, dismissal of fabricated charges, and an end to what it described as unconstitutional state practices in Balochistan.
