Sounding alert, Abdul Nawaz Bugti, the representative of BRP at the UNHRC, said that a Twitter account by the name Baloch Freedom Front, is a fake account which is trying to use the campaign to create confusion.

This @BalochFreedomF is a fake account trying to use our campaign to justify themselves and create confusion. We do not have anything to them and we condemn such cheap tactics. Could be from the ISI. https://t.co/SNblsO7fdg

"This @BalochFreedomF is a fake account trying to use our campaign to justify themselves and create confusion. We do not have anything to them and we condemn such cheap tactics. Could be from the ISI," Bugti tweeted.
Islamabad has been guilty of oppressing the ethnic Baloch population. According to reports, the natives are often subjected to torture and abduction.
The Baloch Republican Party in the past slammed the Pak-China nexus for disrupting peace in the region and put forward a complaint to the UN.
In its complaint, the party has stated that the "China-Pakistan Economic Corridor violates basic human rights, including article 2, 3, 7 and 10 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Balochistan."
The party added that the project can cause "further instability in the region."
It have also raised issues about the killings of civilians and atrocities committed by the military.
According to the BRP, conditions are so bad in the region that people are forced to flee their motherland, akin to what Syrians are facing.
