<p>Naela Quadri Baloch, Chairperson, Baloch People's Congress has alleged foul play behind the mysterious death of Karima Baloch, a young Baloch activist in Canada, saying the Baloch leaders and activists need protection as they are on the target of Pakistan’s secret agencies. Karima Baloch, who escaped Pakistan in 2016 to take refuge in Canada, was found dead at Harbourfront on Monday. The police found her body drowned off an island just near Toronto’s lakeshore. Karima had been a harsh critic of ex-Pakistan Army officers settling down in Canada and was one of the most vocal proponents of Balochistan’s independence from the Pakistani occupation. She was a courageous woman and a thorn in the side of ISI operatives in Canada. Naela Quadri Baloch said that the Baloch political activists living in various countries are now facing threats and need protection.</p>
