The protesters raised the issue of abductions, oppression and gross human rights violations inflicted by the Pakist state agencies in Balochistan.

Asghar Baloch, Dosteen Baloch and Ali Baloch, the ones who led the demonstrations on behalf of Baloch National Movement, said the Baloch people have been facing the worst form of human rights violation since 27 March 1948 and 'barbarism' is still going on.

The protesters also raised slogans against the abduction of Dr Deen Jan and demanded his immediate releases along with other Baloch missing persons.

"We made several efforts for his (Dr Deen Jan) release. Today's online social media campaign is one of those efforts," Asghar said.
