KARACHI: Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) leader Sammi Deen Baloch challenged her 30-day detention in the Sindh High Court (SHC) on Wednesday, a day after she was apprehended during a protest against the arrest of the movement’s leadership in Balochistan. A two-member bench will hear the petition tomorrow, according to the petitioner’s counsel. Karachi police, a day earlier, apprehended Sammi and several others for violating Section 144, using force to disperse their demonstration as the BYC pressed on with its protest. However, as soon as a judicial magistrate ordered her release, police attempted to rearrest her, leading to resistance from lawyers present at the court. Shortly after, they detained the Baloch leader from the court premises and shifted her to jail for 30 days under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO). According to the Sindh Home Department, the decision was made on the recommendation of Inspector General (IG) Sindh, citing security concerns. Officials alleged that Sammi, along with Abdul Wahab Baloch, Raza Ali, and others, was inciting road blockades and sit-ins, which could disrupt law and order in the city.The department further stated that the presence of the detained individuals in public places posed a potential threat to peace and stability.
