UNITED NATIONS - The United Nations has expressed “serious concern” over the killing of three Baloch leaders and called on the Pakistani government to investigate these murders.
“The United Nations extends its condolences to the families of the deceased,” the UN Secretary-General’s spokesperson, Michele Montas, said in a statement read out at the regular briefing on Thursday. The spokesperson noted that the victims were members of the “Balochistan Quam Dost Committee” that was recently formed by the government of Pakistan to probe the case of missing persons in the province. “The United Nations calls on the government of Pakistan to immediately investigate these murders and to ensure that the Balochistan Quam Dost Committee continues its important work,” the statement said.
