London [UK], March 24 (ANI): The Baloch Human Rights Council (BHRC) has called for the urgent intervention of the United Nations Secretary-General in the ongoing repression of Baloch activists in Pakistan. In a press release, the BHRC urged the UN to press Pakistani authorities for the immediate and unconditional release of Mahrang Baloch and other members of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee, who have been unlawfully detained.

According to the BHRC's statement, the arrest and detention of these peaceful activists, who have been advocating for human rights and justice in Balochistan, represent a gross violation of fundamental freedoms and democratic principles. The organisation highlighted that these actions are part of a broader crackdown on individuals demanding truth and accountability for human rights abuses in the region.

The organisation 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 reiterated the urgency of the situation, stressing that the continued repression of Baloch activists must not be ignored by the international community and called for decisive action to ensure that justice is served and human rights are upheld in the region.
