Draft:Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC)

The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) established as a collective platform amid various political and social uprisings, advocates for the human rights of the Baloch nation, particularly in response to state oppression and atrocities. Its active engagement began in early 2020 when unconstitutional activities by Pakistani state forces escalated in Balochistan. The several instances of oppression prompted the Baloch masses to protest. The movement gained momentum after the tragic event on May 26th, 2020, When Death Squads members attacked a house in Turbat, resulting in the martyrdom of a Baloch woman Malik Naaz, where her daughter Bramsh Baloch was injured. Protests initially erupted in Turbat and later spread to Quetta and other parts of Balochistan under the banner of the Bramsh Yakjehti Committee, breaking the decade-long culture of silence in Balochistan.

Background
The entire Baloch Nation unitedly resisted this inhuman atrocity and a campaign against Death Squads was launched by Baloch Nation. During this period numerous Death Squad members were exposed.

This incident marked a pivotal moment, triggering widespread mobilization against human rights violations in Balochistan. Three months later, the killing of a student, Hayat Baloch, by the Frontier Corps in Absor, Turbat in front of his parents further ignited protests across Balochistan.

Political activists joined forces under the banner of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee, initiating a movement against human rights abuses in Balochistan. Following the organized protests for Hayat Baloch, the committee also played a crucial role in campaigning against the cold-blooded murder of the exiled Baloch activist Banuk Karima in Canada in December. 2020, gaining trust and support among the Baloch masses.

Following that, the Baloch Yakjehti Committee broadened its scope of activities, tackling concerns like military aggression, the killing of minors in Hoshab, Kech organizing a Sit-In in Quetta’s Red Zone against fake encounters, launching a campaign to protest the unlawful abduction of Mahal Baloch, the assassination of Rauf Baloch by religious extremists in Turbat, and denouncing state-inflicted violence on the Baloch masses.

Over the last four years, the committee has evolved into a political and mass movement, actively contesting the genocidal policies imposed by the Pakistani state in the Baloch areas.
