The spokesperson of the Baloch National Movement (BNM) stated that the house of the party’s senior exiled member, Captain Nawaz, located in Dazin, Tump area of Balochistan, was once again attacked by the Pakistani military and its local death squads. During the attack, women and children were harassed and terrorized, the house was vandalized, and valuable belongings were looted. It should be noted that Captain Nawaz’s house had previously been targeted in a similar manner.
The spokesperson said that in Balochistan, political activists, whether active inside Balochistan or participating in the national struggle from abroad, and their families are continuously targeted by the Pakistani military and agents. He recalled that when Captain Nawaz’s wife and children were residing in Balochistan, his minor son, Brahamdagh, was forcibly disappeared twice and subjected to severe torture. Brahamdagh is under eighteen years of age, and the enforced disappearance and torture of children is a clear violation of international laws and human rights principles.
The spokesperson stated that such incidents are repeatedly carried out by the Pakistani military on a daily basis in Balochistan as acts of oppression and repression. Through harassment and intimidation of BNM members and their families, attempts are being made to force them to abandon their national struggle, despite the fact that the Baloch national movement is a constitutional, political, and internationally recognized struggle for the right to freedom.
He further said that BNM’s objective is to end Pakistan’s forcible occupation of Balochistan, which was imposed on the Baloch nation on March 27, 1948. BNM is struggling to restore the national independence of Balochistan, which the Baloch nation had achieved from the British on August 11, 1947.
The spokesperson emphasized that the oppression faced by the Baloch nation, the forced occupation, the life of subjugation, and continuous state repression have given Baloch youth and political activists the consciousness to remain committed to their national liberation struggle. He stated that BNM leaders and workers, including Shaheed Ghulam Mohammad Baloch and ordinary activists, have made immense sacrifices for this cause, and this chain of sacrifices continues to this day.
