London, March 24: The Baloch Human Rights Council (BHRC) has called for urgent intervention from the United Nations Secretary-General regarding the ongoing repression of Baloch activists in Pakistan. In a press release, the BHRC urged the UN to pressure Pakistani authorities for the immediate and unconditional release of Mahrang Baloch and other members of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee, who are being unlawfully detained.
The BHRC stated that the arrests and detentions of these peaceful activists, who have been advocating for human rights and justice in Balochistan, represent a serious violation of fundamental freedoms and democratic principles. The organization highlighted that these actions are part of a broader crackdown targeting individuals who seek truth and accountability for human rights abuses in the region.
The BHRC emphasized that the international community cannot afford to remain silent as the voices of Baloch activists are being silenced through force, intimidation, and unlawful imprisonment. The organization called on the United Nations and global human rights groups to take immediate and concrete action to secure the safety and freedom of these activists. The BHRC also insisted that Pakistan must be held accountable for its ongoing and systemic human rights violations against the Baloch people.
In its appeal, the BHRC underlined the urgency of the situation, stressing that the international community must not ignore the continued repression of Baloch activists and called for decisive actions to ensure justice and uphold human rights in the region.
