KARACHI: Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) leader and human rights activist Dr. Mahrang Baloch, was booked on several charges including incitement and terrorism-related offenses in Karachi.

A local businessman lodged a complaint with Quaidabad police station on Friday, alleging that Mahrang facilitates the terrorist organisations under the guise of processions and rallies.

The first information report (FIR) included charges of spreading hatred, inciting Baloch youth against the country, and facilitating terrorists.

The FIR further alleged that Mahrang Baloch and BYC are in full contact with hostile elements from a neighboring country, and with their support and funding, they have started a series of sit-ins in different cities and streets of Pakistan.

The complainant, Asad Ali, a resident of Landhi, said, he found Mahrang along with her associates spreading anarchy by misleading young men and women at the Hospital Chowrangi, police said.

Earlier on Monday, Dr. Mahrang Baloch was barred from traveling to New York after discovering her name was on the no-fly list.

The activist was invited to attend a Time Magazine gala as one of the “Most Influential Emerging Leaders of the Year” and was named among Time Magazine’s “100 Most Influential People of 2024”.
