Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) leader Sammi Deen Baloch was released on Tuesday and discharged from the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) Ordinance after her participation in protests against rights violations.

Sammi and five others were taken into custody on March 24 for violating a freshly imposed Section 144. Despite a judicial magistrate discharging the activists and ordering their release the next day, Sammi was detained shortly after under the MPO for 30 days.
