An anti-terrorism court in Pakistan sentenced activist Mahrang Baloch to life imprisonment. Amnesty International and other human rights groups immediately condemned the verdict as unjust. The sentence triggered international outcry.
Life sentences for activism under terrorism laws are how governments crush dissent while maintaining legal cover. It's not an execution—it looks like justice. But sentencing an anti-corruption activist to life under terrorism charges is political imprisonment. Pakistan's government is signaling it won't tolerate accountability movements. International criticism rarely stops these verdicts, but it does keep attention on the case and makes future persecution of similar activists slightly riskier for the government.
