Geneva, Switzerland, Sep 28 (ANI): Activists from illegally occupied Gilgit Baltistan and PoK strongly raised their voices against Pakistan's atrocities at the 45th session of United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva. Exposing the brutal face of Pakistan, they went on telling the Council how the Pakistani Army has been using the Anti-terrorism Act to assassinate people who stand against their injustice and how Kashmiri youth is being used as cannon fodder in its proxy war with India. While highlighting the plights of the people, one of the activists, Sajjad Raja even broke down in the middle of his intervention. He pleaded before the international community to help people of PoK to come out of this situation and stop Pakistan from committing these heinous crimes. Another activist, Dr Amjad Ayub Mirza demanded the United Nations to declare Belt and Road Initiative projects between China and Pakistan illegal as they are leading to double colonization of Gilgit Baltistan. Along with slamming Pakistan for its attempts to make illegally occupied Gigilt Baltistan as its fifth province, he also brought into light numerous enormities that are being committed on the people of the region. Few activists even organized a protest outside UNHRC headquarters to raise their voice against the barbarity of the Pakistani army and spy agencies. They blamed Pakistan for the illegal detention and enforced disappearances of those who dare to stand against them not only in its occupied regions but also in other provinces. The plundering of lands, the killing of innocent people, the arrest of activists and many more crimes have become an everyday event in GB and PoK ever since they have been illegally occupied by Pakistan. Although the Pakistani government refutes all such charges against them at International platforms, activists have time and again exposed the routine abuses perpetrated by the country on the innocent people of these regions.
