In a ceremony held on Human Rights Day, Quetta paid tribute to victims of terrorism while renewing a collective resolve to combat human rights violations in Balochistan. The event saw participation from bereaved families, civil and military officials, local residents, and students, underscoring a united front against violence.
This year, Balochistan has endured numerous acts of terrorism, with local residents and unarmed civilians bearing the brunt of the brutality. The event featured a documentary highlighting the grim violations committed by terror groups, shedding light on the plight of innocent victims.
Children delivered compelling speeches aimed at raising awareness about human rights and the devastating toll of terrorism. Their messages resonated with the audience, emphasizing the importance of unity and justice.
Attendees, moved by the harrowing accounts, pledged to bring perpetrators and their accomplices to justice. “Our children have lost their lives because of terrorists,” shared a grieving family member of a victim of the Quetta bombing.
Another speaker, the brother of Shaista Rafiq—a schoolteacher who lost her life in a terrorist attack—lamented the personal tragedy caused by violence. “My sister was dedicated to education and lost her life in the line of duty,” he said.
