The Baloch National Movement (BNM) organized a protest demonstration and rally in the Netherlands to strongly condemn recent airstrikes by the Pakistan air force in the Surab (Gidar) district of Balochistan. Expressing deep concern over civilian casualties including women and children demonstrators urged international bodies to take immediate notice of the bombardment and bring those responsible to justice.
Addressing the rally, BNM members Dr. Latif Baloch, Shay Jami, and Asa Bijjar characterized the Surab attack as a severe humanitarian tragedy. They emphasized that human rights conditions in Balochistan are deteriorating rapidly and criticized the international community’s silence regarding the growing threats to civilian lives.
Participants appealed to the United Nations, the European Union, and global human rights organizations to conduct an independent and transparent investigation into the Surab incident to establish the facts. They also called on Dutch civil society, political leaders, and European nations to pay attention to ongoing rights violations in Balochistan and advocate for the affected families.
In closing, BNM activists reaffirmed their resolve to continue raising awareness across the Netherlands and other European nations to demand civilian protection and the restoration of human rights in Balochistan.
