Baloch protestors evicted in Islamabad as police intensify crackdown on sit-in

Pakistani authorities expelled Baloch demonstrators from residential accommodations after terminating water services and subjecting them to harsh weather conditions in Islamabad. The eviction affected women, children, and elderly participants during their fifth consecutive day of peaceful assembly. Families protested the forced disappearances of relatives and detention of Baloch Yakjehti Committee leaders while seeking permission to establish their demonstration site near the Press Club.

Nadia Baloch condemned state institutions for treating Baloch women worse than immigrants receive elsewhere worldwide. She described systematic oppression that has persisted for years through forced disappearances, resource exploitation, and political manipulation. Police forced families from their homes during nighttime hours and abandoned them on streets without shelter.

Authorities continued blocking protest activities by sealing access roads and prohibiting protective coverings despite extreme temperatures. Elderly women and children collapsed from heat exposure while police vehicles arrived at the demonstration site. The restrictions violated assembly rights and attempted to silence demands for justice regarding detained individuals and missing persons.
