<p>The UK is concerned about reports of human rights abuses and violations in Pakistan,
including in the province of Balochistan. We regularly raise our concerns about human
rights at a senior level with the Government of Pakistan. I, did so most recently
on 23 June, when I met Pakistan's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Hina Rabbani
Khar. In February 2022, the British High Commissioner to Pakistan visited Balochistan,
where he met the Chief Minister, Mir Abdul Quddus Bizenjo, and discussed the protection
of human rights. It is not appropriate to speculate who may be designated under the
sanctions regime in the future. To do this could reduce the impact of the designations.</p>
