And the providence of justice for Baloch victims and their families. As well as to grab the international attention to the Balochistan crisis to force the Pakistani government to address their concerns.

The hashtag UN for Balochistan is trending on Twitter X after Baloch activists joined their call to urge the United Nations to investigate the ongoing genocide in Balochistan. A Baloch activist wrote that state institutions should be embarrassed of their illegality. But instead, they are playing the victim card to justify their pitiful violation of the human right to liberty.

Another Baloch wrote on X that last night at 2 o’clock Ghulam Rasool’s father Sulaiman disappeared by the Pakistani forces. Remember that our Baloch mothers, brothers, and elders are protesting in Islamabad to stop the forced disappearances. On the other hand, the state is missing more youths.

کل رات 2 بجے گومازی سے غلام رسول والد سلیمان کو پاکستانی فورس نے لاپتہ کر دیا ہے۔یاد رہیں اسلام آباد میں ہمارے بلوچ مائیں بہن بھائی بزرگ دھرنا دے رہیں جبری گمشدگی کا سلسلہ بند کیا جائے دوسری طرف ریاست مزید نوجوانوں کو لاپتہ کر رہا ہے#UnForBalochistan #MarchAgainstBalochGenocide pic.twitter.com/W51Jz1UvMn

The recent campaign of Baloch activists is a strategic move to gain international support. They are raising awareness about the severity of the Balochistan crisis. They are marking their voices through online campaigns to force the UN to take decisive action.

The families of missing Baloch persons are already in Islamabad to register a protest. Their protest is against enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings of Baloch people by the security forces of Pakistan.

The Baloch protestors have been in Islamabad for about eleven days and appealed to the UN to investigate the “Baloch Genocide.” However, they have not yet received any response.
