UK Government must raise human rights concerns in Balochistan

UK Government must raise human rights concerns in Balochistan — 19 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

We call on the UK Government to raise the issue of enforced disappearances in Balochistan with the Government of Pakistan, to press for the release of detained activists, and to call for an independent investigation into human rights abuses in the region.

Additional details

Balochistan has seen a rise in reports of enforced disappearances, where individuals can be detained without due legal process and their whereabouts often remain unknown to their families. Human rights activists have faced arrest and restrictions for peacefully raising these concerns. We ask the UK Government to raise the human rights situation in Balochistan with the Government of Pakistan, support calls for transparent investigations, and advocate for the safety and release of those detained without a fair trial.
