Islamabad police have announced the release of Baloch protesters who were detained during a demonstration in the capital. The protestors were advocating against the enforced disappearances of their loved ones and had given authorities a three-day ultimatum for the release of all participants and the dismissal of all cases against them. The police apprehended the demonstrators on Wednesday night, using what was described as excessive force. The arrests sparked condemnation from human rights bodies and political parties. The Islamabad High Court ruled in favor of the protestors’ constitutional right to protest. The police statement confirmed that the detained individuals would be released after the approval of their bail. Meanwhile, the protest sit-in in front of the National Press Club in Islamabad, organized by the Baloch Yakjahti Committee, continues.
