The event was held to pay tribute to the two slain activists and to reaffirm the commitment to their mission of advocating for the rights of the Baloch people.

Zubair Baloch, in particular, was praised for his peaceful activism and efforts to raise awareness among Baloch students regarding issues such as enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings and state repression.
Participants condemned Zubair Baloch’s killing, terming it an “extrajudicial murder” and rejecting the official state narrative. They described his death as part of a deliberate effort to suppress dissent and silence the voices of those demanding justice in Balochistan.
