Germany, July 19 (ANI): A group of Baloch activists are on a Long March in Germany to appeal the international media and human rights organisations to take note on the atrocities committed in Balochistan by the Pakistani authorities. The participants, including a minor girl, held banners and raised slogans for `freedom', highlighting the human rights violations being committed in the resource-rich province of Pakistan. The protesters said they will be highlighting the human rights violations that Pakistan has been committing in Balochistan since its forceful occupation in 1948. According to human rights organisations, over 20,000 Baloch people have been abducted by security forces over the last 15 years.
