Dr. Mahrang Baloch, an imprisoned leader of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC), has sent a letter from Huda Jail, Quetta, addressing the members of the organization. In her letter, she commended her fellow activists for their unwavering commitment to justice and human rights, despite the challenges they face.

“My conscious, active, and brave companions! I know that the struggle for truth and justice is arduous and demanding. To fight for our rights and justice, we must walk on thorns rather than flowers. I take immense pride in seeing my comrades face these difficult times with courage and resilience,” she wrote.

Describing the conditions inside the jail, she mentioned the isolation and the absence of any connection to the outside world. However, she expressed how the news of her comrades continuing the movement outside filled her with hope and pride.

“In the darkness of this prison, where there is no sense of day or night, nor any breeze from the outside world, I was uplifted when I heard that our comrades did not remain silent for even a moment after our arrest. Instead, they have continued to organize the public resistance movement across Balochistan despite the hardships. The darkness of this cell suddenly felt illuminated, and I could almost smell the fresh air of my homeland. My head rose with pride, knowing that I belong to a people who know how to sacrifice but not surrender,” she stated.

Dr. Baloch emphasized that no force can deter them from their struggle for justice and rights. She urged her fellow activists to remain steadfast in their peaceful resistance and not to be provoked by the various tactics being used to weaken their movement.

“No power can stop us from achieving our rights and justice. We must continue our peaceful struggle under all circumstances, as our survival depends on it. Silence would mean our collective demise. Many schemes are being devised to provoke us and sabotage our peaceful movement, but we must not step back. Despite all the hardships, we must persist, for this is not just our right but also our duty.”

She made a passionate plea to ensure that the families of the forcibly disappeared are never left alone.

“I urge you all never to abandon the families of the disappeared. You must be the strength of those mothers, sisters, innocent children, and elderly people. Answer their calls, stand by them, and never leave them at the mercy of others. Instead, be part of their struggle and raise your voices for them.”

Dr. Baloch acknowledged the perseverance of her fellow activists, stating that they are the true embodiment of steadfastness.

“Who understands the true meaning of perseverance better than you? You are the ones who, despite the most difficult conditions, have not only continued your peaceful struggle but have also strengthened this public movement. Your sacrifices have further empowered this cause. Now, we must not only sustain this struggle but also organize and strengthen it further. The success of this movement depends on our political awareness, persistence, and sincerity, and I have full confidence in you that with your wisdom, determination, and dedication, you will lead this struggle to victory.”

In conclusion, she urged her supporters to remain patient and resilient, stating that their strength lies in their collective struggle.

“We must always hold on to patience, as it is our true strength. Our endurance and determination should be as steadfast as the mountains of Chiltan. We must not allow despair to take root among us. Instead of reacting with anger, we must make decisions with wisdom and awareness. We should not seek advice from those who want to weaken and demoralize us, nor should we engage with those who spread discord. Our real power lies in our collective thought and collective struggle. Our strength is the courage of our people, our positive approach, and our persistence. We must preserve this strength at all costs. These jails, chains, batons, and guns cannot break us.”
