Pakistani police put barbed wire around protesters at the National Press Club in Islamabad. Baloch families have been camping there for four days to ask about missing relatives. The Baloch Yakjehti Committee says police might use violence against the peaceful protesters. Women and children traveled far from Balochistan to reach the capital city.
Nadia Baloch said her group faces arrest and harm from riot police. Her sister Mahrang Baloch was taken by authorities earlier. The families want to find people who disappeared or were taken without legal reasons. Sahiba Baloch asked citizens and reporters to help protect the protesters.
The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan supports the families' right to protest peacefully. The group said authorities should treat Baloch people with the same respect given to others. Many protesters are women and children who deserve dignity while seeking answers about their missing family members.
