We press on Pakistan to stop the practice of enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings. We want justice for the victims.

We are demanding our right to self-determination and we will continue fighting for our rights," he stated.Echoing similar sentiments, a woman activist participating in the protest said that Pakistan's military will pay a heavy price if they do not stop committing crimes against the Sindhi and Baloch communities."For the past several years, injustice has been meted out against Sindhis and Baloch. The enforced disappearing of people and torture should stop. You are committing crimes against Sindhi youth, why do you fear them? What do you want from them? If you do not stop these atrocities, you will pay a heavy price. We demand the immediate release of those people who have been disappeared," she said.Another activist stated that the situation is getting worse day by day.
