Global Spotlight on Minority Rights: GHRD's Bold Exhibition in Geneva

The Global Human Rights Defence held a photo exhibition in Geneva to highlight alleged human rights abuses against minorities in Pakistan. The event showcased the challenges faced by ethnic and religious minorities, particularly in Balochistan, and criticized Pakistan's alleged support for terrorism. The exhibition seeks global attention for these issues.

Geneva, Switzerland— On the outskirts of the 61st United Nations Human Rights Council session, the Global Human Rights Defence (GHRD) illuminated alleged human rights abuses in Pakistan with a striking photo exhibition at the iconic Broken Chair Monument.

The display brought to light the plight of religious and ethnic minorities including Hindus, Christians, Sindhis, and Balochs. Enforced disappearances in Balochistan, forced conversions, and political arrests, such as that of Dr. Mahrang Baloch, underscore the grim realities these groups endure.

Panel discussions also scrutinized Pakistan's supposed role in terrorism across the border in Jammu and Kashmir, referencing events like the Pahalgam attack in 2025. The exhibition, organized by the NGO based in The Hague, aims to draw international attention to these systemic discriminations and to advocate for the protection of human rights worldwide.
