BYC, a Baloch advocacy group active since 2018, has been campaigning against enforced disappearances for several years now.
Group's leader Dr Mahrang Baloch was among the several activists who were arrested on Mar 22 for attacking Quetta Civil Hospital and even inciting violence.
She was arrested a day after the police cracked down on their demonstration.
The ongoing sit-in protest began on July 16.
