The Pakistani Army is currently engaged in a systematic programme of abducting Baloch women and children from all over Balochistan, holding them captive at undisclosed locations and subjecting them to torture and sexual harrassment.
Pakistan was selected by the UN General Assembly to serve as a member of the UN Human Rights Council in October 2017 and yet within barely a few weeks it has committed crimes in direct contravention of the declarations for the protection of women and children in conflict zones. It has subjected Baloch women and children to
- Mass arrests
- Imprisonment
- Torture
- Sexual Harrassment
- Enforced Disappearance
We urge the United Nations to take urgent action by petitioning Pakistan for the immediate release of all Baloch women and children.
We remind the UN that during the 1971 Bangladesh war for independence, members of the Pakistani military and supporting Islamist militias from Jamaat e Islami are estimated to have raped up to four hundred thousand Bangladeshi women in a systematic campaign of genocidal rape.
We urge the UN to TAKE URGENT ACTION NOW in order to prevent a disastrous repetition in Balochistan.
Please click on the link below, sign and share this petition to the UN for the release of Baloch women and children whom have been abducted by the Pakistani Army.
