Amnesty Urges Pakistan to Reconsider Life Sentences for Baloch Activists

Amnesty International condemned Pakistan's life sentences for Baloch activists Mahrang Baloch and Sibghat Ullah Shah Jee, handed down after a secret trial. The activists were convicted under anti-terrorism laws for alleged involvement in a 2024 protest where a security officer died. Human rights groups criticized the verdict, citing unfair trial standards and lack of direct evidence. Greta Thunberg expressed support for the activists.
