The protest led by Baloch women started on December 6 after an alleged 'extra-judicial killing' of a Baloch youth by officials of the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD). The Islamabad police were seen firing tear gas and water cannons at the protesters and beating them with batons.
It is worth mentioning that Pakistan has been imposing stringent laws against Baloch people and even put them behind bars for writing posts that are critical of the government.
Baloch political activists spoke at an event titled: "CPEC: The exploitative project's human cost in Balochistan" on the sidelines of the ongoing 43rd session of UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.
