On September 12, the Baloch Yekjehti Committee and Labour Party Pakistan held a joint rally in Karachi condemning the August 26 killing of Nawab Akbar Bugti, a leader of the Baloch national liberation movement in Pakistan’s south-western Balochistan province, and the arrests of hundreds of people after riots broke out in response to the killing by the Pakistani military. Speakers called for an independent inquiry into the murder, a halt to military operations in the province, and free and fair elections.
