Exiled Baloch leader and president of Baloch Republican Party, Brahamdagh Bugti, has opposed the $46 billion China-Pakistan economic corridor project, which was launched in April this year during Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Islamabad. The 3000-kilometre economic corridor will be established between Pakistan's southern Gwadar port on the Arabian Sea and China's western Xinjiang region. The protesters also condemned the actions of the Pakistani army and shouted slogans demanding freedom for Balochistan. Bugti claims that Baloch people continue to be targeted by Pakistan's spy agency, the ISI and the Army. Thousands of Baloch political activists, students and intellectuals are missing and many of the missing were found dead with their mutilated bodies showing signs of torture.
