Balochistan

The Baloch American Congress has urged the United Nations and world leaders to take action over what it describes as human rights violations in Balochistan. The group is calling for international attention to the situation in the province, which has long been the subject of rights concerns raised by activists and diaspora organisations.

The Baloch National Movement held a protest in Geneva, calling attention to alleged human rights violations in Pakistan's Balochistan province. The demonstration took place in the Swiss city, which hosts the United Nations human rights bodies, giving activists a platform to raise their concerns before the international community. The group is urging global attention to enforced disappearances and abuses it says are occurring in the restive region.
