It is said that she was transferred to Zahedan Central Prison after her arrest and her family managed to meet with her, despite the fact that the judicial and military authorities informed the family that she will be released on bail in the coming days. But she is still in custody. The authorities have accused her of “political activity in cyberspace”. According to the 2022 annual report of the campaign of Baloch activists, they have collected 305 reports of arbitrary arrests and these reports are divided into two categories before the “Mahoo Baloch” movement and after it. After the news of the rape of a 15-year-old Baloch girl, Mahoo Baloch, by the police chief of Chabahar, protests were held in different regions of Balochistan, and nationwide protests, the number of arrests suddenly increased. A total of 307 Baloch citizens have been arrested by military forces in 2022.
