The Baloch National Movement (BNM) released a statement after the four-day awareness campaign against the Pak Army’s illegal occupation of Balochistan, in London. The statement highlighted the oppression that Pakistan has inflicted on Pak-occupied Balochistan and the innocent Baloch community.

According to the statement, Baloch political activists and supporters held a rally in London during the campaign to raise awareness of the terrible circumstances in Pak-occupied Balochistan and the injustices that its people must endure. The next phase of the campaign, which aims to further the mission of the Baloch National Movement to raise awareness and garner support for the rights of the Baloch people, will begin in Manchester and Leeds after the London campaign concludes.

It is anticipated that the campaign’s next phase in Leeds and Manchester will start shortly. The Baloch National Movement’s statement highlights the movement’s unwavering commitment to achieving justice and freedom for the Baloch people, citing the campaign’s success in London as proof of the activists’ and supporters’ unwavering resolve.

Since March 27, 1948 Pak Army illegally occupied Balochistan and inflicted atrocities daily which include frequent home invasions, disappearances, staged encounters, target killings, torture, embarrassment at checkpoints, and kidnappings for ransom.

The Pak Army recently detained Sajid Smalani from the Mach Bolan area of Pak-occupied Balochistan and now he is missing. Sajid’s brother Nisar Ahmed, son of Muhammad Ishaq was also made to disappear by the Pak Army nine years ago in June 2015.

Such incidents are frequent and are reported daily. Ever since the Pak Army forcibly seized control of Balochistan i.e., on March 27, 1948, the Baloch community have been resisting the atrocities and Baloch genocide perpetrated by the Pak Army.

Recently, in a report, the Baloch National Movement’s (BNM) Department of Social Welfare highlighted the failing state of Health in four tehsils in the Awaran district: Jahoo, Awaran, Mashkay, and Jahoo.

“Even a minor illness can become a life-threatening situation due to inadequate health facilities.” When patients need to be transferred to Karachi or other cities due to emergencies, the uneven roads present a significant risk that they will die while travelling.

Balochistan has been forcibly occupied by Pakistan since March 1948, the Pak Army is using all of its apparatus to commit mass murder and other crimes against the members of Baloch society. The Pak establishment bears sole responsibility for the rising death rate in Pak-occupied Balochistan, due to the lack of necessities.

BNM asked the UN and other international bodies to acknowledge Pakistan’s pervasive violations of human rights in Balochistan and urging immediate intervention to prevent any further crisis.

Recently, the residents of the Naka Khari area of the Hub district of Pak-occupied Balochistan have stated that the Pakistan Coast Guard has blocked the Gwadar route by digging trenches and has resorted to violence against the residents.

The establishment hasn’t provided them with a proper road and they have constructed their paths which are now being forcefully closed by the Pak coast guards.

Reportedly, more than eight protestors were injured due to the baton charging by the Coast Guard during their peaceful protest. The Naka Khari council blocked the main highway in front of the Naka Khari checkpoint in protest against the closure of local routes and violence against the residents by the coast guards.

Incidents like these highlight the plight of the innocent Baloch community who repeatedly face atrocities by the Pak Army since the forcible occupation of Balochistan.

Pak-occupied Balochistan’s Bolan district is gripped by violence and turmoil as the Pakistan Army persists in a military operation for the third consecutive day. The area is witnessing gunship helicopters hovering overhead, disrupting the civilian settlements, while Army personnel advance toward the mountainous regions.

Reportedly, explosions and shelling in the mountainous areas can be heard echoing, and two innocent herders also arrested, sons of a man named Aliyan, during the ongoing operation. The names of the arrested individuals remain unverified, leaving their families tensed and anxious in uncertainty.

The operation, which began three days ago, has witnessed a significant escalation, with forces advancing in various areas of Bolan, including Jambro, Chakki Wadh, Mian Kor, Lakkar, and others. These events are not new in the resource-rich, Pak-occupied region. However, they paint a grim picture of the Baloch community living under the atrocities of the brutal Pak Army. With homes set ablaze, thousands of animals burnt to death, and reports of forced disappearances of innocent civilians, men, women, and children, Pak-occupied Balochistan is facing all sorts of brutality known to humans.

In the suburbs of Dhadar, the heart of Bolan, the Pakistan Army has surrounded the houses of herdsmen and their relatives. Houses have been set on fire, and a military siege has been imposed on the homes of the wealthy and their relatives, with women and children held in custody.

While the Army has remained silent on the operation, the local community fears the impending repercussions. With images emerging from Bolan and gripping fear among the residents, a humanitarian crisis is unfolding in the region. As the valleys of Bolan resonate with the echoes of conflict, the world watches in silence.

In a tragic turn of events, an epidemic of losses struck the Naal Yousaf Dhil Canal area in Khuzdar district, causing the premature death of two children and leaving several others affected.

Haji Ahmed Nawaz Baloch, the chairman of the reputed tehsil Naal, informed the media that he has urged the health department to control the outbreak of losses in Naal. He expressed his concern that if timely action is not taken by the health department to control the unfortunate disease, the epidemic in no time will spread throughout the entire region and will be beyond the control of the health department.

He has demanded authorities address this crisis and take immediate action to send teams of doctors to control the outbreak to prevent any further loss of life.
