Geneva, March 18 -- The Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) in Switzerland organised a large protest in front of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, raising their voices against a series of grave human rights violations and the escalating crisis faced by Pashtuns in Pakistan.

Participants of the protest denounced the illegal crackdown on PTM activists, and the arbitrary detention of prominent figures and highlighted the deteriorating security situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.

The protest also condemned the rising extrajudicial killings, drone attacks, enforced disappearances, and torture perpetrated by the Pakistan Army against Pashtun communities.
