Baloch protesters: EU envoy concerned over mishandling

Staff Writer

Islamabad: European Union Ambassador to Pakistan, Riina Kionka, this week, expressed “deep” concerns over the reports of mishandling of Baloch protesters in Islamabad.

The EU ambassador to Pakistan took to the social media platform, X, to express her concerns over the reports of Islamabad’s police action against participants of the “Baloch long-march.”

Earlier, Islamabad police took action against Baloch protesters – participants of “Baloch long-march” – who came all the way from Balochistan to the federal capital to stage a sit-in at D-Chowk in protest against the incidents of enforced disappearances in the province.

Videos of the police action went viral soon after the police action — arresting and forcefully sending them back to Balochistan.
