Sep 27, 2022
Geneva (Switzerland), Sep 26 (ANI): large number of Pashtuns participated in a protest outside the United Nations to raise the human rights violations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The demonstration was organised by the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) during the ongoing 51st session of the UN Human Rights Council. The participants, including the Afghan Pashtuns, raised slogans decrying Pakistan for supporting terror groups and carrying out atrocities on the Pashtuns. The Pashtuns also organised a conference inside the UN where experts and intellectuals make deliberations on the situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The people in Pakistan’s Pashtun dominated areas are facing persecution since Pakistan Army launched so-called war against terrorism. They targeted the innocent Pashtuns, including women and children. A large number of youth disappeared and many were brutally killed by the Pakistan Army and intelligence agencies.
