Islamabad police on Sunday said the bail of all detained Baloch protesters, taken into custody during a demonstration demanding an end to enforced disappearances and extra-judicial killings, had been approved and they were being released.

The development comes a day after the Baloch Yakjehti Committee, organiser of the Baloch long march in Islamabad, gave the authorities a three-day ultimatum to quash cases registered against students and activists and release all protesters.

The long march which started in Turbat on December 6 after the alleged “extra-judicial killing” of a Baloch youth by the Counter-Terrorism Department officials, had reached the federal capital on Wednesday.

In a statement, Islamabad police said the protesters had demanded the release of their detained companions during a meeting with a cabinet committee formed by the prime minister.

“Keeping in view the legal requirements, the bail of the arrested protesters has been approved. The detained protesters are being released,” it said.
