Geneva, Switzerland (June 29, 2023) Human rights activists, intellectuals and diplomats gathered in Geneva to voice concern over the persecution of ethnic and religious minorities by Pakistan and China through systematic torture and discrimination. The “Symposium on Freedom of Religion, Human Rights and Politics” event was organised by Interfaith International, an NGO based in Switzerland. The participants also highlighted the systematic persecution of the ethnic and religious minorities in both countries through draconian laws and their armed forces while calling for immediate intervention by the international community. The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor that links Uyghur-populated Xinjiang to Gwadar port in Balochistan, has brought death and destruction for the indigenous people, especially the Uyghur Muslims.
