BNM UK Rally Condemns Atrocities in Balochistan, Calls for Global Action

The UK chapter of the Baloch National Movement held a rally in London’s Trafalgar Square, condemning Pakistani security forces' atrocities during protests in Balochistan. Hundreds, including diaspora communities, demanded an end to the Gwadar siege and international intervention against human rights violations.

The United Kingdom chapter of the Baloch National Movement (BNM) organized a rally in Trafalgar Square, London, condemning the atrocities committed by Pakistani security forces during peaceful protests in Gwadar, Mastung, and Nushki. Hundreds, including the Baloch and Sindh diaspora, participated in the event.

The demonstration focused on the brutal crackdown by Pakistani security forces during the Baloch Raji Muchi, which resulted in three deaths, numerous injuries, and widespread suffering. The rally aimed to raise awareness about the enforced disappearances of BYC workers and the road blockades set up by Pakistani authorities to hinder protestors.

Protesters demanded an end to the Gwadar siege and justice for victims of state-backed terrorism. They called on the international community to take action against ongoing human rights violations in Balochistan. Rally organizers condemned the intolerable atrocities committed by Pakistani security forces and urged the lifting of the Pakistani army's control over Gwadar to prevent a potential humanitarian crisis.

Manzoor Baloch, president of the BNM UK chapter, praised the leadership and resilience of Baloch women in their national struggle. Female activist Gul Raisani emphasized solidarity with victims of state violence and resistance against exploitative projects like the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), criticizing the Gwadar blockade as an attempt to starve the people into submission.
