The Twitter (X) account associated with Bahot Baloch, who has been described by Pakistani authorities as a facilitator of the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), has recently been suspended, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The suspension has drawn attention in security and policy circles, as the BLA is designated as a terrorist organization by the government and has been linked to multiple violent attacks targeting civilians and security forces in the country.
The security officials allege that Bahot Baloch played a role in supporting the BLA’s activities, particularly through online engagement. Such facilitation may have included amplifying militant narratives and maintaining contact with individuals linked to the organization.
However, independent verification of these allegations has not been publicly presented, and no formal court ruling on the matter has been disclosed. The sudden suspension of the account has fueled speculation about increased monitoring of online spaces by social media companies and international stakeholders.
The government has called on global technology companies to take stronger action against accounts it believes are being used to support militant organizations. The incident mentions the continuing challenge faced by governments and technology companies in balancing freedom of expression with the need to prevent the misuse of digital platforms for violent or extremist purposes.
