According to an official, the Pakistani government met on Sunday in Islamabad with a number of activists for the rights of Balochistan. These Baloch protesters aimed to put an end to violations of human rights occurring in the unstable southwest.
Protesters left Turbat in southwest Pakistan and marched 1,600 kilometers to Islamabad. About a month ago, the 24-year-old Balach Baloch unexpectedly passed away in the province’s Counter-Terrorism Department. Her name was Dr. Mahrang Baloch, and she was thirty years old.
Despite the fact that the deceased was suspected of carrying out multiple attacks in the neighborhood and had ties to radicals, his family and civil society organizations refer to it as “extrajudicial murder.”
Protesters are currently seizing the Islamabad Press Club to demand the release of the “missing persons” and other demonstrators who were arrested this week after altercations with the police.
