Quetta (HRNW) A young activist of the Balochistan Students Organization (BSO), Hani Baloch, has died in Quetta a day after she returned home from a students’ protest. Her death has sparked rumours and a series of accusations against the police. However, her family and the BSO leaders have attributed the death to natural causes.
A spokesperson for the Balochistan Police has also said that the death of Hani Baloch had nothing to do with police action to disperse student protestors.
Hani Baloch was a student of English Literature at the Bahadur Khan Women University and an active BSO member who had joined medical students in their protest against an online test.
However, she had returned home before the police charged the protesting student, according to the police and her family.
When police took action Hani Baloch was not among the protestors, the police spokesman said. “This is a smear campaign which must be rejected at all levels,” he added.
Hani Baloch, a student who took part in protests against medical college entry tests in Quetta last week, died after her condition deteriorated on Sunday.
A campaign on social media suggested that she was injured in police action.
