The news was first reported by Kiyya Baloch, a Norway-based Baloch journalist, on X (formerly Twitter). Baloch confirmed that Dr. Mahrang Baloch was nominated for her tireless advocacy against human rights violations in Balochistan. Although the Nobel Foundation maintains confidentiality about nominees for 50 years, those who submit nominations can choose to disclose the details. According to Kiyya Baloch, the nomination was communicated to him by individuals directly involved in the process.
Dr. Mahrang Baloch has been at the forefront of efforts to raise awareness about the enforced disappearances and other human rights abuses taking place in Balochistan. She has led numerous protests and long marches, drawing international attention to the plight of the Baloch people. Her activism has earned her global recognition, including a spot on BBC’s list of the 100 most influential women and acknowledgment by TIME magazine as one of the world’s top emerging leaders.
In 2023, Pakistani authorities blocked her from traveling to New York to attend a TIME magazine event where she was honoured as one of the 100 rising leaders. This action was widely condemned by human rights organisations as a violation of her freedoms.
Dr. Baloch’s Nobel Peace Prize nomination is seen as a significant recognition of her unwavering commitment to the struggle for justice and human rights in Balochistan.
