Free Balochistan Movement to organise protests on International Day against Torture
LONDON/BERLIN: The Free Balochistan Movement has announced to organise protests in Germany and the United Kingdom on the 25 and 26 of June respectively on the occasion of the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture.
The FBM in a statement to the media said that Party activists will inform the people of Germany and the rest of Europe about the ongoing state brutalities of Iran and Pakistan against the Baloch people.
The protest in Germany will be held on Saturday, June 25 at 3 PM in Dusseldorf old city region and in the UK on Sunday, June 26 from 2 pm to 4 pm outside the residence of the UK’s Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street in London.
The Free Balochistan Movement said its statement said that not only Balochistan but the whole world was currently affected by the extremism of Pakistan and Iran. “The Free Balochistan Movement has never accepted the illegal and forcible occupation of Balochistan by Pakistan and Iran.”
The Baloch nation, despite being weak, is the only force that is resisting these two terrorists and religious fanatics. “The world powers are acting improperly and instead of helping the Baloch people, they have left Balochistan at mercy of these fundamentalist states which is reprehensible and worrisome.
The Baloch people are currently fighting not only for their national survival but also for the survival of humanity because Pakistan and Iran’s alliance with China and Russia in no way can be considered a good omen for the region.
Balochistan and the Baloch people have paid a heavy price for the resistance and they are still paying the price for upholding their culture of resistance.
The inhumane methods being used to deter the Baloch national struggle are becoming a dark chapter in the history of humanity. Pakistani and Iranian state violence, carnage, enforced disappearances, military aggression, mass executions, in-custody killings and recovery of mutilated dead bodies of previously disappeared Baloch, mass graves, and deliberate demographic changes are just some of the atrocities that one cannot even imagine in the 21st Century but the Baloch are victims of such crimes.
The international institutions which were established to prevent such crimes by hostile states are also unable to fulfill their responsibilities when it comes to Balochistan.
Tens of thousands of Baloch are currently enduring inhuman torture, mistreatment, humiliation and starvation in torture cells of Iranian and Pakistani savage security agencies and military. The mutilated bodies of thousands of Baloch disappeared persons have been found, and hundreds have been extra-judicially killed and executed on trumped-up charges by Iran. In the past two months, Iran has executed more than 25 Baloch including the mass execution of 12 Baloch including a woman in one day.
The Free Balochistan Movement has announced these protests on International Day in Support of Torture victims to inform the world about states’ atrocities against the Baloch nation and to highlight the dangers that the Baloch nation is facing under Iran and Pakistan’s occupation.
The Free Balochistan Movement appeals to all Baloch living in Germany and the United Kingdom, the members of human rights organisations and those who believe in and practice human freedom to come and stand by us, the Baloch in the struggle for national liberation, support the Baloch to raise voice on international level so that the world communities can play their role to stop Iran and Pakistan state brutalities in Balochistan.
