Balochistan lawyers have initiated a strike in response to the arrest of an Awami National Party (ANP) leader. The court recently revoked the bail of the ANP’s Balochistan president, prompting legal professionals to take action.

The Balochistan Bar Council has announced a court boycott scheduled for October 22, expressing disapproval of the bail cancellation. This decision follows the court's ruling on Wednesday, which led to the ANP leader’s arrest.

The ANP’s Balochistan president was arrested after the court canceled his bail in a road accident case. This event occurred during a session of the Balochistan Assembly, where the parliamentary leader of the ANP, Asghar Khan Achakzai, was present.
