Protesters took to the streets of Balochistan, demanding an end to enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings. Various cities witnessed rallies organized by the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC), highlighting the plight of the Baloch people. Businesses in Mastung and Kalat closed in support of the movement, reported The Balochistan Post.

The protestors called upon international human rights organizations and the UN to hold Pakistani authorities responsible. In Quetta, relatives of missing persons, led by the BYC, marched with pictures of their loved ones, chanting slogans against enforced disappearances.

In reaction to recent assassinations, including those of Zakriya Baloch and Allah Dad Baloch, a protest camp was set up in Turbat.
