The statement, which was shared by Bugti on Twitter, read: "Gross human rights abuses, war crimes, enforced disappearances, torture, recovery of mutilated dead bodies and targeting of civilians including women and children have become a routine practice by Pakistani security forces in Balochistan. These are crimes against humanity and a sheer violations of international laws."

An ensuing paragraph said that both Bugti and Marri will hold international awareness campaign against Baloch genocide.

Hours after the announcement was made, a demonstration was held at 10 Downing Street, the official residence of the British Prime Minister.

Slogans of 'free Balochistan' were also raised.
