Vancouver: (March 23, 2013) International Voice for Baloch Missing Persons (IVBMP) and Baloch Human Rights Council of Canada ( BHRC) organised a one day awareness campaign at Vancouver Art Gallery to inform common Canadians about ongoing Human Rights violations in Balochistan. The Baloch activists distributed pamphlets and displayed images innocents Baloch children and mothers and relatives of abducted Baloch appealing to the United Nations and international community to help release their abducted loved ones form the custody of Pakistan and Iran.
The display was part of IVBMP’s two-month awareness campaign world-wide which kicked off from London, United Kingdom in February this year.
The one day awareness campaign was another success, visited by public from all walks of life; including tourists from the United States and Europe. The public were engaged by the images but disheartened by the atrocities and state terror being inflicted on Baloch people. Going through the images they showed their disbelief and strongly condemn such atrocities against Baloch people by Pakistan and Iran. Visitors of the information booth wanted to be pro active and even suggested to start a petition about ongoing Human Rights violations in Balochistan which they were more than willing to sign.

International Voice for Baloch Missing Persons (IVBMP) and Baloch Human Rights Council of Canada (BHRC) on March 23, 2013, will organise an awareness campaign to highlight the on-going disappearances and continuous extra judicially killing of Baloch activists by Pakistani security forces and execution of innocent Baloch people in Iran.
The main goal is to inform human rights defenders and the Canadian public about the reality of Balochistan, which has been neglected by the international media and about the on-going Baloch struggle for their freedom.
IVBMP and BHRC will appeal to the international human rights organizations; western governments and the United Nations to help to release more than 14,000 abducted Baloch and help stop the Iranian regimes from executing innocent Baloch people.
IVBMP on their two month of human rights awareness campaign in Canada will continue to distribute their pamphlets about the gross human rights violations in Balochistan to the Canadian general public, media, students, academic circles, churches, and lawyers.

Vancouver: International Voice for Baloch Missing Persons and Baloch Human Rights Council (Canada) held a Balochistan Human Rights Awareness Day at the Simon Fraser University to inform the Canadian students and public about Pakistani and Iranian state atrocities against Baloch civilians.
Baloch students from Simon Fraser University actively participated in the one-day event by setting up information booths displaying photographs of enforced-disappeared Baloch youth and of the tortured, bullet-riddled bodies of Kill and Dump victims in Balochistan.
Canadian as well as foreign students from Israel, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan and China took interest and enquired about the ongoing human rights violations in Balochistan. Participants were shocked to see the horrors of the large scale human rights abuses committed by the Iranian and Pakistani security forces against innocent Baloch civilians including women and children. Some of the students admitted that this was the first time they learnt about Baloch people and Balochistan.

Vancouver: The International Voice for Baloch Missing Persons (IVBMP) & Baloch Human Rights Council of Canada paid rich tributes to Baloch martyrs in a memorial gathering on Sunday.
The Canada co-ordinator of IVBMP Aziz Baloch and Baloch Community in Canada organised the event to commemorate the National Remembrance Day for Baloch Martyrs 13 November.
The event to mark the National Remembrance Day began with the silence of one minute in the memory of all fallen heroes and heroines who sacrificed their lives, struggling for the freedom of Balochistan.
Aziz Baloch said, “It is the day for Baloch people to pause and reflect for those who sacrificed their precious lives for their next generation.
“In today’s global village, Baloch parents have a responsibility to educate their children about their own history, culture and language so they will be able to share their history with their teachers, classmates in a diverse and free society such as Canada.”
Mr. Bradley Hughes, a professor of Physics and Astronomy, and a supporter of Socialism, was expected guest speaker for today gathering. Unfortunately, due to his tight schedule he was unable to attend. Baloch Community deeply appreciated his solidarity statement sent to the organisers of the event, Mr Baloch said.

Vancouver: International Voice for Baloch Missing Persons and Baloch Human Rights Council of Canada announced to observe National Day of Baloch Martyrs – Shahmiren Balochaani Ruch, on 18 November. The organiser have requested Baloch community in Canada to participate in the event to remember those who sacrificed their lives for a free, democratic and united Balochistan.
The actual Remembrance Day on the 13 November but Baloch diaspora in Europe and Scandinavian countries usually have their meeting on Sunday as most people are free on weekends. It is the day Baloch nation remembers their martyrs who solely lay down their precious life protecting their homeland, rich culture, language and national identity.
On November 13, 1839 the sovereign state of Balochistan was attacked by forces from the British Empire and the Khan Mehrab Khan, the ruler of Balochistan, chose to fight back instead of surrendering to the invading forces. During that fierce battle against the British forces he received martyrdom along with his committed companions. He left a legacy for his next generation, as the resilient Baloch nation refuses to give up their struggle to regain their freedom.
This is the day that each year Baloch remember and honour their national heroes and heroines.
Baloch nation has been a victim of mass execution and extra judicially killings. Today they are facing illegal arrests, unlawful imprisonments in the hand of Pakistani and Iranian security forces. The ground reality exists that there is a serious human rights violation in Balochistan. Sadly, the international media is unaware of this very reality. Both non democratic and fundamentalist state of Pakistan and Iran are trying to keep the International Community in the dark about Balochistan’s ongoing serious atrocities and genocide.
