Sindhi Activists Rally at UN Against Alleged Systematic Abuses by Pakistan

Sindhi activists staged a vehement protest outside the United Nations headquarters during the 60th session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva. They accused the Pakistani state and its military of systematic abuses against the Sindhi people, citing enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and the exploitation of natural resources.

Prominent figures, including Dr. Hidayat Bhutto of the World Sindhi Congress, condemned the alleged silencing of dissent through abductions and intimidation. Activists criticized Pakistan as an 'army state', run for the benefit of the military while ignoring human rights. They called for international attention to protect Sindhis from ongoing atrocities.

Kamran Jatoi, a writer and activist, highlighted resource exploitation by the Punjabi-dominated military establishment, claiming it amounts to a violation of human rights. Activists expressed disappointment at the global community's inaction and urged the UN to address the systematic oppression of Sindhis and ensure their voices are internationally recognized.
