The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC; Balochi: بلۏچ یکجهتی کمیٹی; lit.'Baloch Unity Committee') or Balochistan Yakjehti Committee ('Balochistan Unity Committee'), is a human rights movement established in response to alleged state human rights abuses in Balochistan, Pakistan. The BYC's roots can be traced back to July 2018, when Mahrang Baloch conceived the idea for its formation following the abduction of her brother by Pakistani intelligence agencies. The BYC was officially founded in 2020 as the Bramsh Solidarity Committee (برمش یکجهتی کمیٹی), named after Bramsh Baloch, a young girl injured during a violent incident in Turbat that resulted in her mother's death. Claiming to be a non-violent political entity, the organisation has been confronted by Pakistani government as proxy of terrorist organisations and criminal smuggler groups.
