Pakistan: BYC threaten to protest in front of UN office over issue of ' as seven-day ultimatum given to government ends

| @indiablooms | Jan 05, 2024, at 05:03 am

Baloch Yekjehti Committee (BYC) has announced it will start protesting in front of the United Nations (UN) offices to press their demand for the recovery of missing persons after their seven-day ultimatum given to the Pakistan government ended on Wednesday.

She also expressed gratitude to the judiciary for restraining the Islamabad police and capital administration from taking any action against their protest camp outside the National Press Club.

Talking to Dawn, Dr Mahrang Baloch criticised the Islamabad police for profiling the participants as well as visitors to their camp.

“Nobody has sought security from the police, but their large presence is only to intimidate the participants of the protest camp,” she said, adding that, “they cannot scare us now after the directives of the courts”.

Pakistan's Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar, who appeared to be visibly irked, on Monday said those supporting Baloch protest should join the 'Baloch militants'.

“Advocates of terrorists in Balochistan should go and join them if they are convinced on the veracity of their issue and fight the state along with them, so that we know where they stand and how to deal with them,” he was quoted as saying by Dawn News during a press conference, alluding to rights activists and journalists standing with the Baloch marchers.

Pakistan police allegedly used tear gas and water cannons to disperse protesters in Islamabad last month.

The protesters demonstrated against alleged enforced disappearances of men in Balochistan province.
