Washington D.C., Oct 07 (ANI): World Baloch Organisation (WBO) convened a conference on the deteriorating human rights situation in Balochistan and the geopolitical complexities affecting the region. The conference titled “Scales of Injustice: The Geopolitics of Business, State-Sponsored Extremism and the Fall of Democracy in Balochistan” took place at the Hill Center at the Old Naval Hospital in Washington DC. The conference heard speeches from Nasser Boladai (President of UNPO), Senator Paul Strauss (Sen. District of Columbia), Bhawal Mengal (WBO), Christine Fair from Georgetown University) and T. Kumar (Amnesty International USA). While addressing the gathering, Christine Fair from Georgetown talked about the impact of the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) which, according to her it is implemented in a way that seems to benefit everybody but the people actually living in the area. The event also allowed for a fruitful exchange of views following the official programme, including remarks on the similarly deplorable situation of other minority groups in Pakistan, such as Sindh and Pashtun populations.
