CHAMAN: Law-enforcement agencies in Balochistan have arrested three women from Chaman, claiming that they belong to banned outfits.

A spokesperson of Balochistan government stated that the women had crossed from the Pak-Afghan border town of Chaman illegally and that they had been arrested by Frontier Corps on October 30.

The spokesperson did not identify the women but he said that they had been found to belong to banned outfits as revealed by security officials’ investigations.

However, the Baloch Human Rights Organisation (BHRO) have alleged that the arrested women were the wife and daughters of Balochistan Liberation Front chief Dr Allah Nazar and relatives of another leader of the group.

The BHRO held a protest outside Quetta Press Club on Tuesday and demanded that the women should be released. They further demanded that the women be presented in a court of law if there were criminal charges against them.
