Baloch Students Report Racial Profiling and Discrimination in Pakistan at UNHRC
Munir Mengal, President of the Baloch Voice Association, addressed the UN Human Rights Council, alleging systemic racial profiling and discrimination against Baloch students in Pakistan's Punjab, Sindh, and Islamabad regions. He cited surveillance, harassment, false charges, forced evictions, and enforced disappearances, including the disappearance of five students in Karachi in August 2026. Mengal referenced the Islamabad High Court's 2022 order to form a commission on this issue and linked these concerns to broader ethnic discrimination in Yemen and Iran.
