Baloch Activist's Imprisonment Raises Human Rights Concerns at UNHRC
At the 62nd United Nations Human Rights Council session, Munir Mengal, President of the Baloch Voice Association, criticized Pakistan over the life imprisonment of Baloch activist Dr Maharang Baloch, alleging the judiciary lacks independence and the verdict aims to suppress Baloch political aspirations. Mengal highlighted alleged human rights violations in Balochistan, including enforced disappearances and excessive force by security forces, and called on the UN and member states to investigate and ensure accountability.
