Updated:8 years, 7 months ago

London, Nov 26 (ANI): In its continuous effort to highlight the deteriorating human rights situation in Pakistan’s Balochistan province, the World Baloch Organisation (WBO) launched a mobile awareness campaign in London city. Several mobile vans with huge billboards are roaming around prominent locations in the city, including the embassies of Pakistan and China. The WBO also opposes the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a multi-billion dollar development project which passes through Balochistan. A WBO statement read, “We also paid a visit to their embassies to remind them of their crimes against humanity”. The billboards on mobile vans read, “Raise your voice against extra-judicial killings, disappearances and torture in Balochistan by Pakistan Army”. Some billboards also read “Free Balochistan from human rights abuses.” In its Twitter message the World Baloch Organisation wrote, “Despite efforts from #Pakistan to censor our campaign, the pursuit of peace and justice continues”. It was noted that Pakistan recently opposed #FreeBalochistan campaign by World Balochistan Organisation and messages from taxis and buses were removed by Transport for London (TfL). The advertisements in London are similar to ones put up in Geneva in September timed to coincide with UN discussions on human rights issues.
