The Baloch National Movement (BNM) has organized protest demonstrations in the United Kingdom, Netherlands and South Korea to condemn Pak authorities for their suppression of a historic event in Gwadar, Pak-occupied-Balochistan. The event, known as the “Baloch National Rally / Baloch Raaji Muchi,” was marred by road closures, telephone service disruptions and internet blackouts.
In South Korea, the BNM chapter held a demonstration at City Spot Nampo Dong, showing solidarity with Baloch protesters who face severe repression. Protesters carried banners and chanted slogans condemning the Pak Army’s crackdown on the Baloch Raaji Muchi and broader human rights violations in POB. Speakers, including Hafsa Baloch, addressed the crowd in both Korean and English, highlighting the neglect of POB’s plight amid global conflicts like those in Palestine and Ukraine.
In the UK, the BNM chapter has announced a protest against Pakistan’s violent actions aimed at disrupting the peaceful Baloch Raji Muchi. At Trafalgar Square, London, this demonstration is part of a series of global protests called by BNM Chairman Dr. Naseem Baluch, with participation from all BNM chapters.
BNM Demands Action
Additionally, the BNM also held a protest in front of the International Court of Justice in The Hague, Netherlands, to highlight the genocide of Baloch people. The protest, took place at Carnegieplein 2, 2517 KJ Den Haag, aims to draw international attention to the injustices and atrocities faced by the Baloch nation.
Hafsa Baloch criticized the international community’s lack of attention to the severe human rights abuses by Pakistan forces. She cited recent incidents, including a violent crackdown on a peaceful protest in Gwadar on July 28, resulting in deaths and injuries, and the shooting of protesters in Nushkai on July 2. The repression has intensified, with numerous arrests and detentions of Baloch activists.
The BNM South Korea chapter has called on global leaders and human rights organizations to intervene, urging the international community to address the ongoing violence and support the Baloch struggle for peace and dignity.
