A Baluch activist has alerted the Trump administration to alleged human‑rights violations linked to mining projects in Baluchistan. The activist cites forced disappearances, summary executions, arbitrary detentions and the crushing of peaceful dissent as evidence that the area is not ready for foreign investment. He demands that any US support, funding or guarantee for mineral projects be suspended until an impartial international review confirms that the rights of Baluch people are protected. The request also highlights concerns over Chinese investment in the China‑Pakistan Economic Corridor, urging Washington to consider how external projects may exacerbate local grievances.
