London, UK. 10th December 2016. Balochs who come from the west Pakistan province of Balochistan protest on UN Human Rights Day opposite Downing St calling on Theresa May to speak up for the Baloch people and their freedom against the Pakistan regime which they claim has a policy of genocide against the Baloch people and has killed thousands of Baloch activists and abducted more than 25,000 of them. Balochistan was a kingdom with some autonomy when Pakistan gained independence in 1947, but was merged with Pakistan in 1948, and various separatist movements have emerged over the years both political and military and have been brutally repressed both by Pakistan and also Iran which also has a Baloch population. The protesters say that the over 25,000 who have been abducted will have been tortured and then killed, with their bodies being dumped in deserted areas. Peter Marshall/Alamy Live News
