Baloch Leader Highlights Pakistani Army Atrocities in Balochistan
On International Human Rights Day, a Baloch leader named Tara Chand spoke out about the Pakistani army's actions in Balochistan.
He said the army has been taking people, including students and doctors, and keeping them in secret places without any trials.
He also accused the army of trying to force a strict religious way of life on the Baloch people.
Another group, Baloch Voice for Justice, also talked about these problems and asked the United Nations to help.
They want the world to know what's happening and to make the Pakistani army stop these actions.
Tara Chand of the Baloch American Congress accused the Pakistani army of committing atrocities in Balochistan, including enforced disappearances and arbitrary detentions.
