From small groups in downtown Toronto, and outside the Canadian Embassy in Washington DC, to huge marches in the streets of Karachi, Pakistan, there are growing calls for an investigation into the death of Karima Mehrab Baloch, a 37-year-old Pakistani national living in Canada.
On Dec. 21, Karima Mehrab went for a walk alone along Toronto’s lakefront and never returned. Her husband reported her missing, and a day later, police found her body in the water. Less than 24 hours later, they concluded it was a “non-criminal death” with no foul play suspected. The Toronto Police Service declined to explain more.
NEW DELHI: India has expressed condolences to the family of Baloch activist Karima Baloch, found dead under mysterious circumstances in Canada, even as the Toronto Police tweeted to say they did not suspect any foul play in her death.
The 37-year-old Baloch activist had gone missing on Sunday. Her body was found on Monday. On Wednesday, the Toronto Police tweeted, “The circumstances have been investigated and officers have determined this to be a non-criminal death and no foul play is suspected. We have updated the family.” According to officials, the police statement came before the post-mortem of the body.
Another Baloch activist, Fazila Baloch, said in a tweet: “Karima Baloch @KarimaBaloch had raised alarms about Pakistan Army officials settling in #Canada & questioned Canadian govt for allowing this. She feared that this will lead to attacks against Baloch in Canada,”. Karima is the second Baloch activist to be die in mysterious circumstances in foreign land this year
