The Baloch Human Rights Council of Canada (BHRC-Canada), on Monday, voiced deep apprehension over the Canadian Government's perceived inconsistencies in its response to the mysterious death of prominent Balochistan rights activist, Karima Baloch, in December 2020, in Toronto. The organization raises concerns about the government's handling of this case and its implications for justice and human rights.
Karima Baloch's lifeless body was discovered near Lake Ontario on Toronto Island on December 22, 2020, a tragic event that sent shockwaves through the Baloch community. Despite the suspicious circumstances surrounding her death, the Toronto Police concluded, within forty-eight hours of the discovery, that "no foul play was suspected." This swift conclusion puzzled many, especially considering that Baloch had received grave death threats from the ISI, a fact known to both the government of Canada and the Toronto Police.
