Protests have erupted in Pakistan over the forced disappearances and extrajudicial killings in the restive province.
A top Pakistan high court on Thursday warned the police against the illegal arrest of any Baloch protestor in the capital against the forced disappearances and extrajudicial killings in the restive province, underlining that a peaceful demonstration was a constitutional right of every citizen.
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) Chief Justice Aamer Farooq was hearing a case about the arrests of protestors coming from the Balochistan province to Islamabad to raise their voice against the rampant human rights violations in the resource-rich province.
Clashes occurred as police intercepted protestors heading towards the Islamabad Press Club late on Wednesday night and arrested dozens of them.
