Briefing notes

UNHCR seriously concerned over killing of Pakistani Baloch leaders

14 April 2009

UNHCR shares the serious concern expressed by the United Nations over the killing of three Pakistani Baloch leaders last week. They were members of the Balochistan Quam Dost Committee that was recently formed by the Government of Pakistan to investigate the case of missing persons in the province of Balochistan.

UNHCR supports calls for the Government of Pakistan to immediately investigate these murders and to ensure that the Balochistan Quam Dost Committee continues its important work. We extend our deepest condolences to the families of those killed.
