Mahrang Baloch, the lioness of Balochistan, is challenging the Pakistani establishment

 

New Delhi, AYT News | Tens of thousands of protesters echoed the rallying cries led by Mahrang Baloch in unison. It is atypical for the Balochi people to rally behind a woman, but 31-year-old Mahrang is an exception. As a skilled surgeon and passionate speaker, she is actively challenging the oppressive governance of Pakistan in Balochistan. "The unmarked graves you observe here belong to our people, and we will ensure that the graves of the Baloch are not forgotten." 

These powerful words take on added significance when considering that the speaker is a woman from one of the most patriarchal societies globally—Balochistan. Nevertheless, Mahrang Baloch, a former doctor turned activist, is achieving success by mobilizing large crowds on the pressing issue of individuals being abducted and killed by Pakistan's security and intelligence agencies.
