Baloch Family Alleges Harassment, Obstruction by Hudda Jail
Nadia Baloch says the jail authorities are making it hard for her sister, Mahrang Baloch, who is in jail.
They wouldn't sign legal papers needed to help Mahrang, saying they needed permission from the IG.
Nadia and her family were also threatened and intimidated during a visit.
She believes the authorities are doing this to silence them and are working under pressure.
A group called BYC is now taking this issue to court.
Nadia Baloch accused Hudda Jail authorities of harassment and obstruction during a visit.
The jail superintendent allegedly refused to sign legal documents, citing instructions from the Inspector General.
Family members faced intimidation, threats, and attempts to confiscate their phones during the visit.
Nadia Baloch expressed concerns about Mahrang Baloch's treatment, alleging pressure from intelligence agencies.
BYC filed a petition in the Supreme Court challenging the legality of the detentions of its leaders.
