On Sunday, April 5, 2026, the Baloch National Movement (BNM) in South Korea successfully organized a peaceful protest in Busan as part of the ongoing BNM Global Campaign (March 10 – April 9, 2026). The demonstration took place from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM in front of the Apple Outlet at Sasang Station (Exit No. 5), drawing Baloch community members, supporters, and solidarity activists.
Participants gathered to highlight the persistent human rights crisis in Balochistan, including enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, torture, collective punishment and systematic military repression by Pakistani forces. The protest focused on raising international awareness and demanding justice and freedom for the Baloch people.
Informative pamphlets were widely distributed to passers-by.
A dedicated speech was delivered by Bakhtawar Baloch in Korean language to effectively communicate the message to the local South Korean public and media, explaining the situation in Balochistan and calling for global solidarity against these atrocities. The participants raised strong slogans demanding freedom for Balochistan and strongly condemning the brutality of the Pakistani Army. Slogans echoed calls for an end to enforced disappearances, the release of all missing persons, justice for victims, and freedom from occupation and repression.
The protest remained disciplined, peaceful, and visible in a busy public area, successfully drawing attention from locals and contributing to the international echo of the BNM Global Campaign. It stood in solidarity with similar actions taking place across the world, including at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.
This Busan event reaffirms the Baloch National Movement’s commitment to peacefully exposing Pakistan’s atrocities and advocating for the fundamental rights, dignity, and self-determination of the Baloch people.
