London: An online signature campaign has been initiated demanding justice for activist Karima Baloch who was found dead in Canada recently.

As of now, over 350 activists, journalists, academics, intellectuals and concerned citizens of the world have signed the collective appeal asking Toronto police to further investigate Karima Baloch's death, reports ANI.

Taha Siddiqui, a Pakistani journalist in exile living in Paris since 2018 after surviving a kidnapping and possible assassination attempt on his life in Pakistan, tweeted: "We have 730+ signatures on our appeal to @TorontoPolice to further investigate #KarimaBaloch's death. Parliamentarians, academics, activists, journalists, and other global concerned citizens are raising their voice for #JusticeForKarimaBaloch."

Protests have taken place in different corners of Pakistan over the death of the activist.

Renowned activist Karima Baloch, who was vocal about Pakistan Army and government atrocities in Balochistan, has been found dead in Canada's Toronto city.
