Baloch National Movement Condemns Forced Disappearances, Calls for Global Intervention

Dr. Naseem Baloch of the Baloch National Movement decries the forced disappearance of Prof. Usman Baloch, comparing it to historical genocides. He urges international intervention by India and Bangladesh, highlighting the plight of families enduring hardship as their loved ones remain missing under the Pakistani regime.

In a forceful condemnation, Dr. Naseem Baloch, Chairman of the Baloch National Movement (BNM), has criticized the forced disappearance of Prof. Dr. Usman Baloch and his sibling, Jibran Baloch. He categorizes these incidents as part of a systematic effort to target Baloch intellectuals in Pakistan. In a social media post, Dr. Naseem lamented the growing list of slain Baloch scholars and urged an end to efforts silencing Baloch voices.

Dr. Naseem drew parallels between current events and historical crimes against humanity, likening them to the genocide of Bengalis in 1971. He asserted that international support, notably from India and Bangladesh, is essential to halt what he terms 'genocidal crimes' against the Baloch people.

The human impact of enforced disappearances is deeply felt by individuals such as young Shaari, who has spent years seeking answers about her missing uncle, Shabeer Baloch. Dr. Naseem described Shaari's plight as emblematic of broader suffering among Baloch families, emphasizing these disappearances leave lasting scars on both lives and communities.
