How is the situation in Balochistan?

Human rights activists say that thousands of ethnic Baloch people have disappeared by Pakistani security forces in the last twenty years, but the exact figures are unknown. It is claimed that detainees were kept without the legal procedure tortured and killed in operations against decades of separatist rebellions in the southwest province. The Pakistan government rejects the allegations by saying that most of the losses have joined the separatist groups or abandoned the country.

What do human rights activists say about it?

The issue of forced disappearance of the Baloch people was taken at a conference next to the 60th United Nations (UN) Human Rights Council session in Switzerland. At the event, American Human Rights Lawyer and Researcher Reed Brody called international accountability and independent investigations to widespread abuse against the Baloch people. “The struggle for real and accountability may be long, but it is never desperate. Do not support the voices of the victims, demand justice and shade the basic human rights of geopolitical interests.” He said.
