Geneva (Switzerland), Mar 12 (ANI): Baloch and other human rights activists from Pakistan held protest outside the United Nations Human Rights Council office in Geneva to draw the attention towards growing human rights violations and spread of religious extremism in Balochistan. Organised by Baloch Human Rights Council (BHRC), the protesters were carrying banners like “Recover all victims of Enforced Disappearances in Pakistan”, ‘Stop the genocide in Balochistan”, and “China: the new imperialist power in Balochistan”. Samad Baloch, Secretary General of Baloch Human Rights Council said, “Pakistan has created havoc in Balochistan. People’s life has become difficult as they don’t have rights. The civil society members have been picked up by the Pakistani military. They are tortured, killed and their mutilated bodies are found on roadside”. Qambar Baloch, information Secretary of BHRC said “Pakistan has been sponsoring religious terrorism by promoting Lashkar-e-Taiba, Laskar-e-Jhangvi, ISIS - the splinter group of Taliban”. The Baloch have been fighting for freedom from Pakistan and are facing genocide in the hands of Pakistan Army. A large number of people are disappeared, many of whom are found dead in isolated places.
