The central spokesperson of Baloch Student Organisation (Azad) said on Wednesday that Abdul Qadeer has written a history with his continuous and enduring struggle for the release of Baloch missing persons.
The statement further said that Zakir Majeed, Dr Din Mohammad and thousands of other abducted Baloch are languishing in Pakistani torture cells for their struggle for independence. But the zealous struggle of Mama Qadeer, Banok Farzana and thousands of other Baloch women and children has given impetus to the struggle of detained Baloch activists. The persistent struggle of these enthusiastic Baloch has brought a new life in the Baloch freedom struggle.
“Men and women around the world have struggle against oppression and brutalities and they have become part of an eternal history. Similarly the great sacrifices and continuous struggle of Mama Qadeer and his comrades will be remembered in the history of Baloch and the world. Mama Qadeer’s struggle is the guiding torch for the activists all around the world. His struggle shows to the people of the world that how an old and weak man took a stand against the brutalities of occupiers and denounced to bow before the intruders,” said the spokesman of BSO-Azad.
He further said that today because of the efforts of Mama Qadeer and his comrades the issue of Baloch missing persons has been raised in different parts of the world. Now because of these efforts United Nations and the world is breaking their silence on this grave issue.

The Voice for Baloch Missing Persons (VBMP) took out a massive protest rally in Karachi on Wednesday on completion of their 100 Days form peaceful protest against human rights violations in Balochistan.
Thousands of people joined the rally to pay tributes to enforced-disappeared Baloch and those who have been killed in custody by Pakistani forces. The rally set off from Arts Council Karachi and marched to the Press Club where a big demonstration was held. The participants of the rally had come from different areas of Karachi to express their support and solidarity with families of enforced-disappeared Baloch activists.
Large numbers of Baloch women and children carrying placards, banners and pictures of abducted Baloch activists chanted slogans in support of Baloch freedom struggle. The rally went to the protest camp of Voice for Baloch Missing Persons, outside Karachi Press Club, and lit candles in memory of those killed and abducted by the state security forces.
Speaking at the occasion the vice chairman of Voice for Baloch Missing Persons, Qadeer Baloch, said that, “we have taken out this rally on the completion of our 1000 days of protest for the release of our loved ones. Today is an important day for Baloch struggle because despite abduction of 14500 of our beloved ones and killing of 606 activists in custody, our movement is continuing with patience and consistency. The intelligence agencies of Pakistan have threaten to kill us [leaders and workers of voice for Baloch Missing Persons) but I will not mention those difficulties and hardships, because those who are sacrificing their lives, and those who are languishing in enemy’s secret prisons are facing inhuman torture and state barbarism which are far greater hardships than what we are facing.”

The central spokesperson of Baloch National Movement (BNM) said on Monday that occupying Pakistan state was engaged in a sinister design to align all so called nationalist parties into a front against Baloch freedom struggle.
According to BNM spokesperson the National Party and other pro-establishment parties have been tasked to revive the dead politics of vote and money and start smear propaganda against popular freedom movement. The National Party in a recent statement said, “The elections are the only way to prevent civil war in Balochistan.” BNM alleged that such statements are clear proof of National Party's collusion and collaborating with the state forces against Baloch struggle.
The spokesperson further charged that National Part has become a propaganda machine for the state that is why it was trying to portray the Baloch national resistance movement as a civil war. “NP with its smear campaign wants to defame the Baloch liberation struggle among Baloch masses so that Baloch nation will remain under the slavery of Pakistan for ever,” said BNM.

Baloch Human Rights Organisation (BHRO) staged simultaneous protest rallies in front of Quetta Press club and Arts council Karachi on International Day for Human Rights on Monday.
A large number of Baloch women and children participated in the protest to urge the international human rights Organisations to take to notice of ongoing human rights violations in Balochistan. They were carrying placards and banners of their enforced-disappeared relatives and extra-judicially killed Baloch activists.
Addressing the protestors the speakers said that the Baloch nation is facing brutal cruelties on their own motherland. They said along with snatching the identity of the Baloch nation the Pakistani forces are also involved in abduction and killings of women, children and old citizens.
More than 14,000 Baloch, which include men, women and children, have gone missing since 2001. More than 600 mutilated bodies of Baloch detainees have been found since July 2010. These brutalities have been documented by Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and American foreign department, UN commission for Human Rights, Asian Human Rights Commission and Human Rights Commission of Pakistan.
The speakers said that despite the continuous gross human rights violations in Balochistan by Pakistan the UN has refrained from taking any bold action against Pakistan and only limited itself to expressing concern through media.

The Baloch National Voice has applauded the decision of United Nations to give Palestine the status of non-member observer state, and said “It is the moral duty of all member states of UN to acknowledge the national liberation struggle of Baloch nation, which is in accordance with the UN Charter.”
BNV requested the member states to take immediate notice of on-going brutal repression and human rights violations in Balochistan by Pakistan. The world is aware that Baloch were not a part of Pakistan and they will never be part of it. Baloch were the owners of a sovereign and independent state long before Pakistan came into existence. Pakistan and its Punjabi Army violated the sovereignty of Baloch national state and occupied it at gunpoint.
The Baloch National Voice said, “The Baloch nation has been striving to restore the sovereign and independent status of Balochistan from the day one of occupation. Pakistani forces are using all their might and conducting a full scale calculated genocide of Baloch nation to maintain their occupation on Balochistan.”
The BNV in their statement further said that the Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo are considered the most inhuman detention centres and the investigation procedures are considered brutal but even then the representatives of Human Rights Organisations have access to these places. Various reports, pictures and video clips from these places have surfaced. Even the most dangerous detainees have the rights to defend themselves before the courts. Whereas the killing fields and torture cells of Pakistani Army and its intelligence agencies are never taken into notice. Baloch political prisoners are suffering the most brutal torture possible, which is at much higher scale than the brutalities in Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo detention centres. Baloch prisoners are tortured and kept for years before their bullet-riddled bodies are dumped in desolate places.

The Baloch National Voice said the state was using its stooges, in provincial assembly, to convince Baloch freedom fighters to withdraw from the national liberation struggle for monetary gains.
The pro-freedom Baloch political group also termed the Pakistan government’s offer of incentives to Baloch sarmachars (freedom fighters) as the moral failure of the state.
The BNV further said Baloch national forces, the sarmachars, and thousands of Baloch men, women and children sacrificed their lives for the freedom of Balochistan and thousands were still languishing in secret prisons of Pakistan for nothing less than an independent Balochistan.
“In the history of mankind, no nation has ever abandoned its quest for freedom in return for jobs and other incentives”, Baloch National Voice.

Families of Mohammad Ramzan Baloch and Nawab Nazar Baloch have urged the international community to pressurise Pakistan for the safe and immediate release of their loved ones. Separately, Mohammd Usman Marri has been whisked away from Hub town of Balochistan.
Ramzan Baloch’s relatives said he is missing from past three years but the security forces of Pakistan and judiciary have failed to discover him. “We have been to courts and registered his case with the Supreme Court but all to no avail.”
Mr Baloch’s family said when the UN WGEID visited Balochistan; the families of enforced-dispread Baloch were overjoyed that the UN will get their loved ones released. “Unfortunately, so for the UN WGEID has also failed to take any concrete steps for the release of enforced-disappeared Baloch activists”, said a relative of Ramzan Baloch.
They urged the UN to take action against state atrocities in Balochistan and urge Pakistan to release their loved ones – who are currently in the custody of Pakistan army.
In a separate statement the mother of late Ilyas Nazar Baloch said the claimants of Islam and humanism should raise their voice for the safe recovery of her son Nawab Nazar. “He is the only breadwinner of house”, she said.
