The family of a Baloch woman, who was allegedly abducted by the law enforcers last month from her home in Quetta and later declared a terrorist, has alleged that her video confession was forcibly obtained by the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) as they continue to hold her in custody.
The family of Mahal Baloch said this during a press conference held at Quetta Press Club.
The family also accused the CTD officials and Balochistan government officials of conducting a media trial by releasing the video message of Mahal Baloch in which she confessed her link with the banned BLF. They said this also put the rest of the family in danger, reported The Balochistan Post.
The family urged the government and judicial authorities to take notice of the matter.
Earlier, Balochistan CTD DIG Aitzaz Goraya and CM’s spokesman Babar Khan Yousafzai held a press conference and said that Mahal Baloch admitted her association with the outlawed BLF.
They presented a video message of Mahal Baloch in which she confessed her link with the BLF and said her husband was also working for the banned organisation.
“My husband was killed along with his brother in 2016 and I shifted to Karachi with my in-laws where people belonging to the banned organisation contacted and brainwashed [me], and after that, I joined the organisation and later shifted to Quetta,” she said.
