Cologne (Germany), July 08 (ANI): The Baloch Republican Party’s (BRP) Germany unit has organised a demonstration in Cologne to highlight the incidents of enforced disappearances and human rights violations against Baloch people in Balochistan province in Pakistan. The protest was aimed at highlighting the escalation of military operation against the Baloch people allegedly by the Pakistan Army in Balochistan. The activists said that the Pakistani military establishment has been abducting and killing Baloch people who attempt to raise their voice against enforced disappearances and worsening human rights violations. They held placards with slogans like-‘#CPEC is a map of destruction not development for Baloch people’ and ‘Baloch enforced disappearances, a crime against humanity’. While speaking to ANI, social media manager of BRP Germany chapter Atta Baloch said, “We are here in Cologne to highlight Pakistan’s inhumane behaviour in Balochistan. Recently, the Pakistan Army has started a new game by releasing some abducted Baloch persons and abducting more people. They continue their military operations in different ports of Balochistan as well.” Meanwhile, another BRP activist named Muhammad Baloch said, “We have gathered here to protest against the brutalities which Pakistan is carrying out in Balochistan. We have witnessed thousands of Baloch activists and students going missing and the numbers are increasing day by day. Unfortunately, Pakistan is carrying out abductions and the world is not questioning about it.” Human rights activists from various Baloch organisations have been continuing their campaigns around the world to highlight the worsening human rights situation in Pakistan.
