Human rights group calls for objective inquiry into Karima Baloch death

Hong Kong : Human rights group based in Hong Kong has asked Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to initiate an independent inquiry into the abduction and mysterious death of 37-year-old Banuk Karima Baloch.
Karima was a prominent student leader of Balochistan, who escaped Pakistan in 2016 to take refuge in Canada. She was found dead in Harbour front near Toronto’s lakeshore.
Karima Baloch had gone missing on Sunday around 3 pm. Toronto Police had requested public assistance in locating her.
“We, the signatory of this urgent appeal, demand from Prime Minister Trudeau to immediately hold an impartial inquiry into the murder of Baloch activist in an Island. The government of Canada must also investigate the possibility of hands of intelligence agencies of Pakistan in her murder”, said International Human Rights Council (IHRC).
In 2016, the BBC had included Baloch in their ‘BBC 100 Women 2016’ list for her work involving “campaigns for independence for Balochistan from Pakistan.
She had used her social media profile to highlight abductions, torture, forced disappearances, and other human rights violations that people in Balochistan were being subjected to by the Pakistan government and the army.
