Sources: 2. Developments: 2. The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) has initiated efforts to document and protest state actions in Balochistan. In July 2026, the BYC launched a global campaign to mark the second anniversary of the Baluch National Gathering in Quetta. This campaign aims to create a digital archive and collect testimonies regarding two years of alleged state repression, including military action, internet shutdowns, and arbitrary arrests. By August 2026, the BYC expanded its activities by backing protests organized by the Balochistan National Party (BNP). These demonstrations respond to alleged bombings by Pakistani jet aircraft in Sorab and Gwadar on August 13, which the BYC claims resulted in the deaths of civilians, including women and children. The committee characterized these events as “barbarism” and “continuous oppression,” calling for international accountability regarding military operations and enforced disappearances in the region. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-17: Baloch Yakjehti Committee backs Balochistan protests The Baloch Yakjehti Committee has backed Balochistan National Party protests against alleged Pakistani jet aircraft bombings in Sorab and Gwadar and the reported deaths of Baloch civilians. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/baloch-yakjehti-committee-backs-balochistan-protests ### 2026-07-26: Baluch Human Rights Committee Launches Global Campaign on National Gathering Anniversary The Baluch Yakejethi Committee launched a global campaign to preserve memories of the July 2024 Baluch National Gathering, citing past state repression and creating a digital archive of testimonies. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/baluch-human-rights-committee-launches-global-campaign-on-national-gathering-anniversary --- Cite as: Baloch human rights activism and protests.
