The Special Rapporteur reiterates his grave concern about the killing of Mr. Mehsud, which illustrates the violent and dangerous conditions facing journalists, media workers and human rights defenders in Pakistan when exercising their legitimate rights to freedom of opinion and expression and of association. He urges the authorities to undertake a thorough and independent investigation into this case, hold the perpetrators accountable, and provide remedies to the family of the victim. 354. In relation to the case of Mr. Baloch, the Special Rapporteur reiterates his concern about his arrest, incommunicado detention and charges brought against him, which he believes are in linked to his legitimate human rights work and peaceful social activism. Concern is also reiterated in relation to the conditions of his detention, given that neither his family nor his legal counsel has reportedly been allowed to visit the detainee. He urges the authorities to release Mr. Baloch without delay. 355. More generally, the Special Rapporteur urges the Government to ensure that civil society, including human rights defenders, can carry out their legitimate work free in a safe and enabling environment without fear of threats or acts of intimidation, harassment or assassination of any sort. Country visit 356. The Special Rapporteur reminds the Government of his pending requests to visit Pakistan, as indicated by his letter sent in September 2011 and October 2013. He trusts that such a visit would allow him to examine first-hand issues related to his mandate, identify good practices and formulate pertinent recommendations to relevant stakeholders. He looks forward to receiving a positive reply at the earliest possible opportunity. He reiterates that Human Rights Council resolution 15/21, which established his mandate, and 24/5, which renewed it for an additional period of three years, both call on States to consider favourably his requests for visits.
