Secret FIR Sparks Controversy: Baloch Activist Challenges Government's Allegations

Sammi Deen Baloch, a prominent figure in the Baloch Yakjehti Committee, has revealed the existence of a secret FIR lodged against her, allegedly contradicting the information presented by the government in court. According to The Balochistan Post, Baloch shared on social media that she is on bail from the Balochistan High Court regarding seven FIRs and insisted she has continually contested these charges in court. She emphasizes the need for official notifications through proper channels for any new cases.

Baloch highlighted that during her court appearances, the government submitted documents claiming no FIRs had been recorded against her in Awaran or nearby areas. Despite this, she argues, a covert FIR has been filed without her knowledge, leading to her branding as a proclaimed offender and the issuance of arrest warrants in Balochistan, as reported by The Balochistan Post.

She asserted that these warrants could lead to her arrest at any moment, particularly if she returns to Balochistan. Baloch criticized the legal measures as tools to suppress opposition, accusing the state of legitimizing its oppressive actions. She also censured certain social media figures and self-described journalists for targeting Baloch protesters in Islamabad, claiming they pressure demonstrators for views and followers, while mainstream media remains silent, as noted by The Balochistan Post.
