In Geneva, Pashtun activists held a massive demonstration against Pakistan Army’s genocide in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and FATA during the ongoing session of UN Human Rights Council. They were holding black and white flags symbolising peace and denouncing terrorism. They were seeking urgent intervention by the UN to save Pashtun identity and their culture. The protestors raised slogans like “Pakistan Stop Pashtun Genocide” and “Pashtun Nation Wants Justice”.

Recently, the Pakistan Army has arrested Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) leader Manzoor Pashteen for raising issues of Pashtun people. He was later released after massive demonstrations by the activists the world over. The Pashtuns, who have gathered from parts of Europe and the US, also held a conference at a special tent in front of the United Nations.
