Calls for justice outside Toronto Police headquarters this afternoon as around a dozen demonstrators demanded a formal investigation into the death of human rights activist Karima Mehrab.
Mehrab, also known as Karima Baloch, went missing near Bay Street and Queen’s Quay on Sunday and her body was found a day later by the Harbourfront. Toronto Police say they don’t consider her death to be suspicious but friends and family say she had gotten several threats for her activism against the Pakistani government.
“We cannot believe it. We cannot accept it, personally, that it was an accident or suicide because we had lots of threats. She had lots of threats,” said her friend Lateef Johar, who also went by Lateef Johar Baloch.
