LAHORE: Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar and her delegation tried to downplay the grave human rights situation in Balochistan during her presentation on October 30 to the United Nations (UN) Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of Pakistan, civil society representatives told a press conference on Tuesday.
Sharing their critique of Pakistan’s submissions to UN in Geneva before the Working Group of Human Rights Council, they said people continue to protest against the many people missing in Balochistan while arrests and human rights abuses continue.
“The Supreme Court has held military and the Frontier Corps answerable for extrajudicial executions and enforced disappearances,” they added.
