Human Rights Organisation Calls for Release of Mahrang Baloch and Provision of Medical Care
Published
The Human Rights Foundation (HRF) has called on Pakistani authorities to release Dr Mahrang Baloch and provide her with appropriate medical treatment. According to the organisation, there is deep concern over this matter from a human rights perspective.
Mahrang Baloch is an activist who raises her voice for human rights in Balochistan and is affiliated with the Baloch Yakjehti Committee. The HRF has raised questions about the ongoing legal proceedings against her, and has expressed reservations in particular about the manner in which her case is being heard inside the jail.
The organisation has also expressed concern about her health. The HRF says that access to appropriate medical facilities is a fundamental right of a prisoner during detention, and that ensuring this right is the responsibility of the authorities.
The available report does not include a response from Pakistani authorities to this statement. The situation may become clearer once further details emerge.
