Pakistani police released 290 Baloch activists who were arrested during a protest in Islamabad. The activists had traveled from Turbat to protest forced disappearances and extrajudicial killings in Baluchistan. The police used batons and water cannons to disperse and arrest the protesters. The use of force sparked nationwide condemnation and a sit-in outside the Islamabad Press Club. Balochistan has been the scene of a low-level insurgency by Baloch nationalists, who demand a greater share of the province's resources.
