Rights groups have called for an investigation into the death of Karima Baloch, a Pakistani activist living in exile in Toronto, Canada.

Baloch, 37, a campaigner from the restive region of Balochistan in western Pakistan, was a vocal critic of the Pakistani military and state.

Toronto police issued an appeal after she went missing on Sunday. Friends later said her body had been found.

In 2016, Baloch was named in the BBC's annual list of 100 inspirational women.

Toronto police tweeted on Monday, saying the activist was last seen on Sunday in the Bay Street, Queens Quay West area of the city. The force tweeted again later to say she been "located", without adding any detail.

I feel like I should once again be thankful for yet more "cultural diversity" being brought to our shores...

And also more proof that you can run, but you can't hide from Jihad, especially when weak, ineffective governments enable it...

Because all that would have achieved would have been getting her dead a Hell of a lot quicker, sadly. Pakistan is one of those places, where there is *zero* tolerance for dissent.
