According to the Balochistan Human Rights Group, on March 24, 2025, at approximately 5:30 PM, Sammi Deen Baloch was arrested by Karachi police during a peaceful protest against human rights violations and the detention of Baloch activists. Reliable reports indicate that she is currently being held at the Women’s Police Station on Shahrah-e-Faisal, Karachi.
Sammi Deen Baloch is a prominent human rights defender who has actively spoken out against the human rights abuses faced by the Baloch people, including enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, arbitrary arrests, and custodial torture.
Despite facing serious threats against herself and her family, she has continued her work in the extremely hostile environment of Balochistan, shedding light on human rights violations and providing support to victims and their families. Her arrest, along with that of other Baloch human rights defenders, has further raised concerns about the suppression of civil liberties and the increasing crackdown on human rights activists.
