Shehbaz Sharif Arrest Warrant: Balochistan activist Mir Yar Khan accused Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif of violating visa rules. Following this, an arrest warrant has been issued against Shehbaz.
On January 8, 2026, major news broke: an arrest warrant has been issued against Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif. This warrant was issued not by any Pakistani court or government, but by the government-in-exile of Balochistan (Republic of Balochistan). This entire matter concerns Balochistan’s independence and sovereignty. Mir Yar Baloch, a Baloch activist and independence advocate, announced this warrant on X.
What are the main charges against Shahbaz Sharif?
According to Mir Yar Baloch, Shahbaz Sharif has been charged with:
- Violating Balochistan’s visa regulations.
- Illegally entering Balochistan without a valid visa or legal permission.
- Causing serious and deliberate harm to the sovereignty of Balochistan.
- Grossly violating Balochistan’s territorial integrity and airspace.
- Mir Yar Baloch stated that Balochistan is a separate, sovereign, and independent state.
- Therefore, no individual is above Balochistan’s immigration laws, even if they are the Prime Minister of Pakistan. Entry with an illegal visa will be considered a criminal offense.
When and where can the arrest take place?
The warrant clearly states that Shahbaz Sharif can be arrested upon arrival at any airport or any entry or exit point in Balochistan. This action will be taken under the laws and sovereign rights of the Republic of Balochistan.

What has been the response from Pakistan?
There has been no official response from the Pakistani government or Shahbaz Sharif on this warrant yet. This warrant is being considered symbolic, as Balochistan is part of Pakistan and the government-in-exile has no actual control.
Demand for Balochistan’s separation from Pakistan
This news highlights the ongoing separatist movement in Balochistan, where people are demanding separation from Pakistan. This warrant has been issued as a warning to Pakistani officials, the army chief, and all citizens that entry into Balochistan without prior visa permission will not be tolerated.
This matter is being described as involving international law, sovereignty, and immigration regulations. Everyone’s eyes are fixed on what happens next.
