Human rights in Balochistan

That this House notes with alarm that Pakistani security forces have violently repressed a peaceful gathering in Gwadar, a port city in the southern province of Balochistan, which was organised by the Baloch Solidarity Committee, an organisation resisting enforced disappearances, military operations, resource extraction, and the targeting of political dissent; further notes that the gathering aimed to demand justice for Balochistan’s missing persons and that leaders and protestors of the Baloch Solidarity Committee have been stopped, harassed, arrested, and attacked by Pakistani security forces and to ensure news does not come out Pakistani authorities have blocked internet connectivity; and therefore calls upon the Government to demand that the government of Pakistan lifts the internet censorship, publishes information on the number of arrests, injuries, disappearances, and deaths that have taken place and to demand an immediate cessation of this history of repression that is putting the safety and lives of human rights protestors at risk.
