London: Hakeem Baloch, President of Baloch National Movement UK Zone, has demanded a thorough investigation into the death of activist Karima Baloch in Canada.
He said Karima was a brave lady and could not commit suicide.
"She received many threat calls on her social media accounts, abusive messages, and comments that's something which shows the mentality of the enemy of the Baloch nation," Hakeem was quoted as saying by ANI.
