 Anti-Terrorism Court-I on Saturday sentenced Baloch nationalist leader Nawab Khair Bakhsh Marri, his three sons Nawabzada Balaach Marri, Herbeyar Marri and Changez Marri and another man, Jabir, to three years rigorous imprisonment each. Nawabzada Balaach Marri is a member of the Balochistan Assembly. Judge Shaukat Ali Rakhshani ruled that the five had willfully been absent from court proceedings in a terrorism case.

The court also ordered for the confiscation of all the moveable and immoveable properties of the accused. The accused were charged with being involved in a landmine explosion in Kohlu district a few months ago in which District Naib Nazim Changez Marri and another government official were killed and two others were injured.
