Demonstrators gather in central London to highlight alleged human rights abuses in Balochistan and call for international intervention
A protest was held outside 10 Downing Street, London, on Sunday, 4 January 2026, as activists raised alarm over the escalating number of enforced disappearances of Baloch women and children.
The demonstration, organised by the Baloch National Movement (BNM), drew attention to what campaigners describe as a systematic campaign of abductions in Balochistan, allegedly carried out by Pakistani state institutions. Protesters held placards, chanted slogans, and appealed to the British government and international organisations to intervene.
Organisers said the targeting of women and children marks a disturbing escalation in the long-running human rights crisis in the region. They warned that enforced disappearances violate international law and represent a grave assault on human dignity.
Speaking at the protest, participants called on the United Nations, human rights bodies, and democratic governments to take urgent action, investigate the alleged abuses, and hold those responsible accountable.
Aomar Karim Shows Solidarity
London-based Baloch political activist and journalist Aomar Karim also participated in the protest, showing solidarity with the families of missing Baloch women. Karim condemned the enforced disappearances and urged the international community and human rights defenders to raise their voices for Balochistan.
He stressed that silence enables abuse, calling on global institutions, media organisations, and civil society to stand with the Baloch people and demand justice for the victims.
The protest concluded with renewed calls for international pressure on Pakistan to end enforced disappearances and respect fundamental human rights in Balochistan.
