The Baloch National Movement (BNM) held a rally in Hannover to protest human rights violations, enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and military aggression in Balochistan. The demonstrators marched to the Lower Saxony State Parliament, urging the international community to ensure independent investigations, hold those responsible accountable, and take effective measures to uphold the Baloch nation’s right to self-determination.
The gathering was addressed by BNM activists Asif Baloch and Aqib Baloch, along with Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) representatives Saeed Momand and Fazal Meena Khel. The speakers highlighted enforced disappearances, arbitrary detention, torture, and civilian casualties, emphasizing the need for unity and practical cooperation between the Baloch and Pashtun nations.
Referring to reports by Paank concerning the killings of Peer Jan, Shoaib Baloch, Hafiz Mudassir, Wazir Ahmed, and Jasim in Panjgur during August 2026, the speakers called for independent investigations into civilian deaths, including casualties resulting from military airstrikes and drone attacks. They urged the United Nations and international human rights organizations to take notice of these incidents and ensure that those responsible are held accountable.
The BNM reaffirmed its position that the Baloch nation has the right to freedom and to determine its own political future. It emphasized that the issue of Balochistan must be addressed through respect for human rights, justice, and the right to self-determination rather than the use of force.
The rally began in Hannover’s central Kröpcke area before proceeding through the city streets to the state parliament. Outside the parliament, participants chanted slogans and distributed informational leaflets to raise public awareness of the situation in Balochistan.
