The Baloch National Movement (BNM) has accused Pakistani authorities of grave human rights violations, including extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances, and torture – across Balochistan during the 61st session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva. Addressing the session, BNM chairman Naseem Baloch said that the European Union granted Pakistan special trade status under the Generalised Scheme of Preferences Plus (GSP+) on the condition that it uphold international standards on human rights, labour protections, and democratic governance. He argued that the reality on the ground sharply contradicts these commitments. The BNM called on EU policymakers and members of the European Parliament to undertake a transparent and thorough review of Pakistan’s compliance with its GSP+ obligations. During the session, Kasim Khan, son of Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan, urged the UNHRC to intervene and press the Pakistani government for his father’s immediate release. Earlier, Imran Khan accused judges in the country of compromising their integrity for personal privileges, alleging that he and his wife are being denied justice by the courts. Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, were convicted on January 17, 2025, in the Al-Qadir Trust corruption case.
