- ADITI KHANNA London

The Baloch Republican Party (BRP) held a protest against Pakistani "brutalitie­s" in the restive Balochista­n outside the Pakistan High Commission here.

The protesters accused the army of the illegal abduction of Baloch women and unleashing bloodshed in the region.

"The protest rally was aimed at highlighti­ng and exposing continuous Pakistani army brutalitie­s and bloodshed in Balochista­n before the world," BRP president of UK zone Mansoor Baloch said in the statement.

Apart from this, the illegal abduction of Baloch women from different parts of Balochista­n including Dera Bugti and Bolan was highlighte­d, the statement said.

From the Pakistan mission, the group marched up to 10 Downing Street to stage a protest outside British Prime Minister Theresa May’s official residence.

"In past few days, Pakistani forces targeted civilian population and abducted dozens of Baloch during military operation in Dera Bugti, Kohistan Marri, and Kech," BRP spokespers­on Sher Mohammad Bugti said in Geneva.

Bugti said that Pakistani forces used their full military might against and indiscrimi­nately targeted Baloch civilians.

The group has urged the internatio­nal community to join in their protest against Pakistan’s action and condemn the so-called China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), which was against the will of the Baloch people.–PTI
