Geneva: BNM’s Foreign Secretary, Faheem Baloch, addressed the 61st session of the UN Human Rights Council, raising serious concerns about the situation in Balochistan. Reports highlight enforced disappearances, torture, and extrajudicial killings, with families facing harassment. He called for an independent investigation, accountability, and the protection of fundamental rights. #BNMGlobalCampaign #BNMatHRC61 #HRC61 Here is the complete text of his speech : Distinguished Chair, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to raise serious concerns about the human rights situation in Balochistan. Reports by Amnesty International say that enforced disappearances, torture, and extrajudicial killings continue in the region. Many people are taken by security forces, disappear for long periods, and sometimes their bodies are later found. Amnesty International has described this pattern as a “kill and dump policy. The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan has also reported that enforced disappearances continue. Families searching for their missing loved ones often face pressure and harassment when they ask for answers. Several countries have also raised concerns. The United Kingdom has spoken about reports of mass graves in Balochistan and continues to raise human rights issues with Pakistan. The United States, in its annual human rights report, has documented cases of killings, disappearances, and torture. Members of the European Union, including the Netherlands, have also highlighted these concerns. Experts at the United Nations Human Rights Council have called on Pakistan to investigate these cases and respect international human rights law. We respectfully ask this Council to support an independent investigation, ensure accountability, and help protect the basic rights of the people of Balochistan. Thank you.

#WATCH | Geneva, Switzerland: The Baloch National Movement (BNM) organised its 11th International Conference in Geneva on the sidelines of the 61st session of the UN Human Rights Council, drawing attention to the ongoing human rights situation in Balochistan. The conference focused on highlighting alleged human rights violations in the region and raising concerns over the lack of international accountability. Activists and speakers urged the global community to take cognisance of the situation. Participants said that March 27 is observed by Baloch activists as a day marking what they describe as the “forced occupation” of Balochistan by Pakistan in 1948. They alleged that since then, the people of the region have faced sustained repression. Speakers at the conference claimed that hundreds of youths, including students and political activists, have been subjected to enforced disappearances, torture, and killings by Pakistani security forces—allegations that Pakistan has repeatedly denied in international forums. The Baloch National Movement called on the international community to intervene and ensure accountability, while advocating for what it termed the right of the Baloch people to freedom and self-determination.

On #WorldHumanRightsDay, let’s reflect on the dire conditions and violations of basic human rights in Pakistan, where people are denied their fundamental right to peacefully protest and raise their voices against injustice and brutality. One recent example is the #IslamabadMassacre, which stands as one of the darkest days in Pakistan’s history, where security forces opened direct fire on unarmed, peaceful protesters, killing and injuring hundreds. Twelve deaths have been confirmed, with hundreds missing and feared dead, as the government refuses to release the bodies and has confiscated all hospital records in a desperate attempt to cover the scale of this catastrophe.

Civil society statement on continued network shutdowns and platform blocking in Pakistan We, a collective of human rights activists and civil society organisations, express profound concern over the increasing instances of #internetshutdowns and #socialmedia platform blocking, specifically in the lead up to and following the general elections in #Pakistan. These actions not only infringe upon the fundamental rights of #freedomofexpression and access to information but also set a troubling precedent of throttling genuine political discourse in the country. The arbitrary blocking of platforms, including the prolonged and unannounced disruption of "X" (formerly known as #Twitter), is a sobering illustration of growing digital censorship in the country. Such actions not only silence diverse political voices, but also create an environment which contributes to the spread of misinformation. Today, digital platforms play a pivotal role in shaping public discourse, and ensuring the free flow of information, through these digital mediums, is imperative for an informed society and fair electoral processes. The suppression of digital platforms, especially when initiated without transparency, often lacks adherence to due legal process and thus, undermines Pakistan’s international law commitments. The complete silence of the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (#PTA) is extremely alarming as they have failed to furnish any reasons for its actions and exceeded its mandate to block an entire internet platform. The absence of transparency in the decision-making processes surrounding network #shutdowns and platform blocking and complete disregard for any accountability has resulted in an obvious erosion of trust between the state and its citizens. We are also dismayed by reports of throttling of #VPNs, undermining people’s access to information and right to privacy. In light of these concerns, we call for immediate action to reverse the course of digital censorship in Pakistan. Specifically, we urge the government and public bodies to; - Repeal sections of the law such as Section 37 of PECA that enable censorship and violate Article 19 right to freedom of speech and press freedom and Article 19-A right of access to information - Act with transparency on decisions that impact the free use of the internet, including for political and economic purposes. - Issue statement of clarification, outlining the reasons and legal basis for the recent blocking of "X" and other affected platforms. - Avoid future actions that obstruct the free flow of information and adersely affect political discourse within the countries and take back all legislative proposals expanding control and censorship over the internet including the e-safety bill from the previous government’s tenure should not be revived. - Abide by #Pakistan’s commitments to uphold freedom of expression and right to access to information under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights We urge the incoming government, regulators and other public bodies to recognise that any action that affects the flow of information and limits citizen’s ability to express themselves, has a direct and lingering impact on citizen’s human rights including the right to political participation.

*Request for International Support – Report of Involuntary Psychiatric Commitment and Cyber ​​Torture** To the attention of the competent authorities, human rights organizations and representatives of civil society, I hereby request support and urgent attention to the case of a US citizen, activist and human rights defender, who is being held under involuntary psychiatric commitment under circumstances that raise serious doubts as to the legality and legitimacy of the procedure. The individual in question, known as **John Flynn**, has publicly denounced systematic practices of **cybertorture** — a term recognized by UN experts to describe forms of psychological and technological torture that include remote harassment, neural manipulation, invasive surveillance, and digital interference with the aim of silencing, destabilizing, or discrediting victims and activists ( ( There is strong evidence that his psychiatric commitment was based on questionable medical reports, without due process, and with the aim of covering up serious allegations involving transnational crimes and human rights violations. Such practice constitutes a possible **psychiatric fraud**, used as an instrument of political and social repression. We request: - The opening of an independent investigation into the circumstances of the hospitalization; - The guarantee of impartial legal and medical access to the patient; - The protection of the individual's civil and political rights; - The mobilization of international organizations to monitor the case; - The consideration of the phenomenon of cybertorture as a real threat to the physical and mental integrity of citizens in several countries. Freedom of expression, the right to mental integrity and protection against inhumane treatment are fundamental pillars of any democratic society. We cannot allow advanced technologies to be used to silence dissenting voices under the pretext of medical care. Sincerely, Targeted Individuals Worldwide ✨️

Open Letter to the International Community, Human Rights Organizations, and the United Nations Subject: Urgent Appeal to Protect the Pashtun National Jirga and Address State-Sponsored Terrorism in Pakistan To the Global Community, United Nations, and All Human Rights Organizations, We, the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) United States, are writing this urgent open letter to bring to your immediate attention the severe state-sponsored repression against the Pashtuns in Pakistan. This grave situation requires global action to stop the escalating violence and ensure the protection of basic human rights. On October 11, 2024, the Pashtun National Jirga, a historic assembly rooted in Pashtun tradition for peaceful decision-making and conflict resolution, is scheduled to take place in Pakhtunkhwa. This gathering will unite Pashtuns from across the region to peacefully advocate for their rights and protest against state violence. However, in an alarming and oppressive move, the Pakistani state forces have confiscated the designated Jirga ground, turning it into a militarized zone. Armed security forces have built posts and established a strong presence in the area to prevent the peaceful assembly from taking place. These aggressive actions reflect the state's intent to violently disrupt the Jirga, intimidate participants, and silence the voices of the Pashtuns. In addition to this, the communication channels with Jirga organizers have been severed, isolating them from the outside world and making them even more vulnerable to state repression. The lives of those planning to attend are at immediate risk, and their fundamental right to peaceful assembly and free speech is being brutally denied. This confiscation of the Jirga ground and militarization of the space is not an isolated act but part of a broader, long-standing pattern of state-sponsored terrorism aimed at erasing Pashtun voices and suppressing their peaceful demands for justice. We urgently call upon the international community, the United Nations, and all human rights organizations to take immediate and decisive action: 1. Condemn the State’s Repressive Actions: Publicly denounce the Pakistani government’s confiscation of the Jirga ground and its use of armed forces to prevent a peaceful assembly. 2. Demand the Immediate End to Militarization: Call for the removal of military posts and security forces from the Jirga site, and ensure that the Pashtun National Jirga can take place without fear of violence. 3. Insist on Protection for Participants: Ensure that the safety and rights of all those attending the Jirga are protected, in accordance with international human rights standards. 4. Investigate Ongoing Abuses: Launch independent investigations into the human rights violations committed by the Pakistani state against the Pashtun people, including the confiscation of public spaces and violent repression of peaceful assemblies. 5. Hold the Pakistani Government Accountable: Urge Pakistan to comply with its international obligations to protect the rights of all citizens, including the Pashtun people, and to cease its discriminatory and violent actions. The silence of the global community in the face of these violations has only emboldened the perpetrators. We must not allow the Pashtun people to be oppressed and brutalized in the shadows. Immediate action is needed to prevent further violence and ensure that the Pashtun voices are heard. We appeal to all defenders of human rights and justice to stand with the Pashtun people in this critical moment. The world cannot turn a blind eye to this state-sponsored terrorism and the assault on fundamental freedoms. Thank you for your immediate attention to this urgent matter. Your action can save lives and uphold justice.

Sindh Police detained Fozia Baloch and her family outside the Karachi Press Club as she attempted to hold a press conference on the enforced disappearance of her brother, Daad Shah Baloch. He has been forcibly disappeared for the second time, and his whereabouts remain unknown. Instead of providing answers, authorities blocked her right to speak and denied the family access to legal recourse. The shrinking of civic space and the silencing of those who dare to speak is alarming. Peaceful expression is being restricted, and families seeking truth are treated as offenders. Such actions reflect a deliberate effort to suppress voices that demand accountability for enforced disappearances. This approach blocks lawful and peaceful paths for justice. It raises a clear question about who stands against transparency, rights, and the rule of law. Fozia Baloch and her family must be released immediately, and authorities must disclose the whereabouts of Daad Shah Baloch without delay. #SaveBalochWomen #EndEnforcedDisappearances #ReleaseDaadShahBaloch Mary Lawlor Human Rights Commission of Pakistan Human Rights Watch Amnesty International South Asia, Regional Office

On this International Human Rights Day, BYC Central Member Sammi Deen Baloch states that Balochistan continues to face one of the gravest human rights crises of our time. Decades of systematic violence, fear, and repression have left deep psychological and socio-political wounds on the people of Balochistan. The suffering of the people of Balochistan remains largely ignored by the international community and by those organisations that call themselves champions of human rights. According to the BYC Human Rights Department, enforced disappearances have reached alarming levels, with 1,080 cases reported this year alone, including 53 minors. Disturbingly, Pakistani authorities are now targeting women and girls; 12 girls were forcibly disappeared in 2025, of whom three remain missing, and 189 extrajudicial killings were reported, including six women. Pakistani military operations, drone attacks, mortar shelling, artillery fire, and other assaults have become daily practices of the rogue paramilitary forces, resulting in the displacement of entire villages and small towns across the province. She highlights that human rights activists are the beacon of hope for oppressed people. Yet in Balochistan, human rights defenders are threatened, charged in fabricated cases, and hundreds of students and teachers face false accusations and FIRs for peaceful activism. Freedom of speech and expression is treated as a crime. The region has been pushed into a media blackout, where journalists are silenced and harassed for reporting and revealing the truth about state-led oppression and violence. #InternationalHumanRightsDay #StopBalochGenocide

Free Balochistan Movement Netherlands Branch Announces Protest in Front of the International Court of Justice on the Occasion of International Human Rights Day Amsterdam/Balochisatn; A protest will be held to raise voices against the atrocities committed by the occupying Pakistani and Iranian states against the Baloch people in occupied Balochistan. The purpose of this demonstration is to draw the attention of the international community and human rights advocates to these violations. The protest will begin at 12:30 PM and conclude at 2:00 PM. An appeal will be made to the humanitarian forces of the world to break their silence on the grave human rights violations taking place in Balochistan, to recognize Balochistan as an occupied region, and to help end the cycle of state oppression and violence against the Baloch people.

According to latest ground reports, dead bodies of four Baloch youth were recovered in Badrang, Khaliqabad district Khuzdar area of Zehri.

Pakistan army's ISPR in his recent media press briefing confessed of carrying out more than 67,000 military operations this year alone.

Advocate Zubair Killed by Pakistan Army — Irrefutable Evidence of State Terrorism > 🎥 Watch in Video: A destroyed home by the Pakistan Army & Chairman Zubair Baloch’s speech against enforced disappearances in #Balochistan. Advocate Zubair Baloch was a peaceful political activist and a staunch defender of human rights. In Dalbandin, Chagai district, Balochistan, the Pakistan Army raided a house and killed him along with his companion, Nasir Baloch. Shamelessly, the Pakistan Army has admitted responsibility for this attack and the killings. This was an act of pure state terrorism. Advocate Zubair was a powerful voice in Balochistan — speaking against enforced disappearances, the plunder of resources, and ongoing human rights violations. For this very reason, he was deliberately targeted and assassinated. The Pakistani military continues to brand the Baloch national struggle — a genuine, deeply rooted indigenous movement against occupation — as “foreign interference,” even using terms like “Fitna-al-Hindustan” to mislead the world. Such propaganda reflects the state’s immaturity, its hatred, and its desperation to delegitimize a just, homegrown movement. These attacks make no distinction — women, children, and peaceful activists are not spared. The killing of Chairman Zubair is further undeniable proof that Pakistan seeks to silence every voice raised for Baloch rights. Chairman Zubair Baloch, former Chairman of BSO (Pajjar) — the student wing of a parliamentary party — was a law graduate committed to peaceful politics. His assassination exposes the state’s systematic attempt to crush peaceful dissent and wipe out an entire nation. This is part of the ongoing #Baloch #genocide. Today, Pakistan stands at the United Nations (United Nations ) pretending to champion human rights — yet the truth is clear: its army tramples every law, storms homes, and kills unarmed civilians, women, and even infants. The ongoing UN session ( #UNGA80 ) must address this openly — and Pakistan must be held accountable for its crimes. #StopBalochGenocide #StateKilledZubairBaloch

Unlawful Detention of BYC Leaders and Denial of Access to Families and Legal Counsel Constitute Grave Human Rights Violations On June 8th, leaders of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) were unlawfully transferred from Hudda District Prison in Quetta to the Civil Lines Police Station on a 10-day remand. Since their transfer, they have not been seen, and authorities have denied access to both their families and legal counsel. This complete lack of transparency has raised serious concerns about their safety, including fears of potential torture in custody. In response, the families of the detained leaders gathered in front of the Civil Lines Police Station to demand their legal and moral right to visit their loved ones. The Superintendent of Police informed them that no meetings would be permitted without a court order. However, even after obtaining the necessary court directives, police have continued to deny access. Only the mothers of Dr. Mahrang Baloch and Beebow Baloch have been granted brief visits, while all other family members and legal representatives remain barred. In protest against these illegal and authoritarian actions, the families have initiated a peaceful sit-in outside the Civil Lines Police Station. We urgently call on national and international human rights organizations to intervene and hold the responsible authorities accountable. The state’s unconstitutional actions and continued targeting of human rights defenders must not go unchecked. Immediate attention and action are imperative to safeguard the rights and wellbeing of the detained BYC leaders. #ReleaseBYCLeaders

Dear Human Rights / Women Rights organizations of the World..! I want to draw your attention towards the extreme violence and fascism going on by the goverment of Pakistan on the women and workers of PTI which is the largest political party of Pakistan. 1000s of illegal abductions and 100s of killings of citizens including men, women and kids are being carried out. Women are being harassed, dragged on roads and beaten violently, whereas straight fires are shot on peaceful people, all being done by police and rangers of Pakistan. This is done only because these innocent people wanted to use their fundamental right of doing peaceful protests, because they want free and fair elections in Pakistan, which yet again is also a fundamental and constitutional right of every citizen. Its been more than a year people of Pakistan are facing this extreme cruelty from the state of Pakistan but during last fews weeks this has been multiplied 1000 times. Most of the electronic media has been forced not to report this fascism and the internet has been shut down throughout the country so that the world, through social media, should not know what is happening in Pakistan. Even journalists who wanted to speak up agaist this state cruelty are being harassed, illegaly arrested or abducted. I urge all the organizations, known world-wide for their services to protect human rights, especially the rights of women, to raise this issue in the world so that these activities in Pakistan must stop. Today it's Pakistan, the other day, these human right violations can occur in any other country, therefore this fascism and violence of human rights must be probed once and for all. Looking very much forward to your response in terms of raising your strong voices against this.

Syed Bibi Baloch, a member of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee, was summoned once again to the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) office in Turbat this morning, only hours after being released the previous night. Upon her arrival, she was arrested and transferred to Central Jail under Section 3 of the Maintenance of Public Order (3 MPO) for one month. For the past eight months, Syed Bibi has faced continuous harassment by state authorities. After being placed on the Fourth Schedule, she was required to report to the CTD office every week while her phone and communications remained under constant surveillance. A widow living in Turbat with her two young children, Syed Bibi supported her family through traditional embroidery after her husband’s death. Since being placed on the Fourth Schedule, however, she has endured sustained psychological pressure and intimidation. Her bank accounts were frozen, her embroidery business collapsed, and obstacles were created even in relation to her children’s education, making it nearly impossible to live a normal life because of her dissenting views. Four days ago, following the Baloch Yakjehti Committee’s announcement of a rally in Turbat, the pressure against her intensified. Throughout the day, she received repeated calls and threats from CTD officials. Later that night, at around 9:30 p.m., security personnel raided her home, arrested her, and took her to the Women’s Police Station, where she was told she would be released after the rally concluded. She was released at approximately 10:00 p.m. the following night. Just thirty minutes later, she received another call stating that Military Intelligence (MI) personnel wanted to question her. She replied that she could not appear in the middle of the night and would present herself the next morning. Despite this, police raided her home three times during the night, breaking down the door, damaging household belongings, and searching the premises. Officers also raided her mother’s home, harassed family members, attempted to forcibly take away her bedridden brother, photographed the interior of the house, and caused further damage to property. Fearing for their safety, Syed Bibi spent the night with her two children in a graveyard beside her late husband’s grave. The next morning, she spoke to the media at the Turbat Press Club and publicly described the events. While there, she received another call instructing her to report to the CTD office. When she complied, she was arrested again and detained for one month under the 3 MPO. The treatment of Syed Bibi Baloch raises serious concerns about human rights, civil liberties, due process, and the rule of law. Silence in the face of such allegations risks creating an environment in which further abuses may occur. We respectfully call upon the international community—including the United Nations, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), relevant UN Special Rapporteurs, international human rights organizations, democratic governments, civil society organizations, and independent media—to closely monitor the situation, raise these concerns with the relevant authorities, and advocate for the protection of fundamental rights, including freedom of expression, peaceful assembly, and due process. We also urge national and international institutions committed to justice and human rights to help ensure accountability and the protection of individuals facing alleged harassment or arbitrary detention.

A complaint against veteran human rights defender and political leader from the Pakistan People's Party (Pakistan Peoples Party - PPP) Farhatullah Babar, has sent a wave of distress through the civil society, who have termed this move a tactic to pressure the former senator into silence. The complaint has been made by an unknown citizen, based in Rawalpindi, on basis of 'tax evasion, corruption, and illicit asset accumulation'. Babar is known for being outspoken against several serious human rights violations, particularly where the State has been allegedly involved, including enforced disappearances, arbitrary detentions, custodial torture, and extrajudicial killings. Munizae Jahangir, journalist and HRCP co-chair, condemns the FIA complaint against Farhatullah Babar calling it vague and equating it to a witch hunt of human rights defenders. In the past, such private complaints have been used to lodge sedition cases against journalists and activists and the quarters behind these private complaints are known to all, she says. #WeStandWithFarhatullah Munizae Jahangir BilawalBhuttoZardari AsifAliZardari Bushra Gohar Raza Ahmad Rumi Hina Rabbani Khar Hamid Mir حامد میر Human Rights Commission of Pakistan Asad Ali Toor Imaan Zainab Mazari-Hazir Matiullah Jan Ch Fawad Hussain Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar

This video shows what the Islamic Republic calls a “normal life.” Please watch, and listen to the voices of the people of Iran While people inside Iran are being brutally attacked in silence—amid an enforced media blackout and digital repression—representatives of the Islamic Republic are still granted platforms, seats, and open microphones at international institutions. In the footage shown here, a woman is violently assaulted in the streets during the protests. Plainclothes agents and Basij forces kick her and strike her with blades and machetes in one of the most brutal ways imaginable. This is not an isolated incident; it reflects a broader pattern of systematic violence against civilians during the protests. At the very same time, the Islamic Republic’s representative is given a podium in international forums and uses that microphone to declare that “life in Iran is normal.” This contrast exposes a profound moral and legal failure. Granting legitimacy and airtime to a regime that is actively committing violent human rights violations—while victims are silenced, attacked, and erased—turns international platforms into instruments of disinformation. There is nothing “normal” about a society where women are attacked with blades in the streets, where protests are met with lethal force, and where truth is buried under censorship and fear. International institutions have a responsibility not to amplify falsehoods, but to stand with victims, document crimes, and uphold the principles of human rights, dignity, and accountability. #IranRevolution2026 #DigitalBlackoutlran #IranMassacre

Numerous people have been directly shot by the security forces on the orders of the military-backed puppet regime, which is using brute force to prevent citizens from reaching Islamabad for a peaceful protest against the regime. The government has employed every means of repression, including expired tear gas shells, rubber bullets, and stun grenades. With Pakistan virtually under lockdown, the situation continues to deteriorate. This is all after the Interior Minister of Pakistan, Mohsin Naqvi, openly threatened to open fire upon peaceful protesters. Multiple casualties are also being reported. The situation is now even more alarming, as the military establishment and its puppet government have openly resorted to using brute force, showing no hesitation in killing protesters to instill fear and suppress the largest mobilization of people fighting for democracy and human rights in the country's history. We urge the international community to speak up and raise their voice for the people of Pakistan.

Press Conference Respected Members of the Press, I stand before you today to share the gross violations of the basic human rights of the Baloch people in this state. As many of you are aware, last night at Karachi Airport and in its vicinity, state intelligence agencies, the FIA, and the Sindh Police violated my fundamental rights as a citizen and subjected us to indefensible treatment. An internationally renowned magazine, TIME, included me in this year’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world, and I was invited to attend their event in New York. My flight was scheduled to depart from Karachi to New York last night. After completing all the required procedures at Jinnah International Airport, the Immigration Department unjustly prevented me from boarding. When I sought an explanation, the FIA officer walked away without providing any reasons. I was detained at the airport for five hours without legal justification. After my flight had departed and as we were leaving, a female FIA officer confiscated my passport and refused to return it. It took over an hour of negotiations before she reluctantly handed it back. When we finally departed for home, just five minutes into our drive, state intelligence agents and Sindh Police officers stopped our car. Sammi Deen Baloch and another female friend accompanied me. The officers immediately removed our driver, assaulted him, and immobilized the car by taking its keys. They opened all the doors and thoroughly searched the vehicle, including underneath our seats. When we attempted to speak to them, we were forcibly dragged out of the car, our scarves were yanked off, and we were subjected to verbal abuse and severe harassment. They then forcibly seized our bags, taking my passport, mobile phone, and car keys. We were stranded on a deserted road very late at night. Two vehicles approached us, and the individuals inside further harassed us, hurling obscene insults before leaving. Feeling unsafe, we abandoned our car, took a taxi, and went home. It was a painful and distressing ordeal to endure such inhumane treatment in this country, merely because I am a human rights activist and a Baloch, treated worse than animals. Respected Members of the Press, The events of last night, where I was unjustly prevented from traveling and subjected to such inhumane treatment, clearly demonstrate that the state of Pakistan has deprived us of even the most basic right to live. It is evident that human rights no longer exist for us. Despite holding a valid U.S. visa and an official invitation from an international magazine, I was detained for five hours at Karachi's international airport, prohibited from traveling, harassed, and had my belongings confiscated. If this is how I was treated, imagine the kind of treatment the ordinary Baloch people endure in Balochistan. Through this press conference, I want to send a clear message to the state and its institutions: such tactics will neither silence us nor deter us from raising our voices against the violations of human rights in Balochistan. On the contrary, these actions only strengthen our resolve, and we will continue to organize and speak out against the abuse and genocide of the Baloch people. I urge all national and international human rights organizations to hold the state of Pakistan accountable for the events of last night and the ongoing severe human rights violations in Balochistan. It is imperative to safeguard the basic human rights of the Baloch people. Thank you. Dr. Mahrang Baloch Organiser of Baloch Yakjehti Committee

On the contrary, these actions only strengthen our resolve, and we will continue to organize and speak out against the abuse and genocide of the Baloch people. I urge all national and international human rights organizations to hold the state of Pakistan accountable for the events of last night and the ongoing severe human rights violations in Balochistan. It is imperative to safeguard the basic human rights of the Baloch people. Thank you. Dr. Mahrang Baloch Organiser of Baloch Yakjehti Committee

FLASHBACK Sept 22, 1965 ZA Bhutto In UN Security Council : Indian Occupied Kashmir, A Disputed Territory: "..... Jammu and Kashmir is not an integral part of India and has never been an integral part of India...." (Watch Historical Footage). Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, PR of Pakistan to the UN Permanent Mission of Pakistan to the UN Ishaq Dar 6 January 2025 - SFJ Communique To Prime Minister of Pakistan Re: Pakistan’s Election to UN Security Council Seat Sub:Support The Right to Self-Determination through Referendum For People Of Indian Occupied Punjab and Kashmir. Honorable Prime Minister: Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) ( is an international human rights advocacy group which believes in and adheres to UN Charter and works to promote the Right To Self Determination and human rights as enshrined in Universal Declaration of Human Rights (“UDHR”) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. To this end, SFJ is holding the first ever global non-governmental Khalistan Referendum under the supervision of a nonaligned panel of experts - the Punjab Referendum Commission - on the question “Should Indian Governed Punjab Be An Independent Country?”. We are writing to extend our warmest congratulations to you and the nation of Pakistan on Pakistan’s successful election to a seat in the United Nations Security Council. This significant achievement reflects Pakistan’s dedication to international peace, justice, and the principles enshrined in the UN Charter. Your recent statement reaffirming the right to self-determination for the people of Kashmir through the plebiscite as prescribed in UNSC Resolution 21 of 1948 is both timely and commendable. It is a reminder to the international community of the moral and legal imperative to support oppressed peoples’ right to seek freedom and justice. While unequivocally supporting the right self-determination for the people of Kashmir through UN backed plebiscite to which India has reneged on, SFJ urges your government to consider extending its support to the Sikh community’s ongoing quest for self-determination. The global referendum being organized by SFJ is a significant effort to highlight and advocate through peaceful and democratic means, their demand for a sovereign homeland Khalistan in the Indian Governed region of Punjab. We firmly believe that Pakistan’s leadership at the Security Council can pave the way for constructive dialogue and meaningful resolutions that uphold the right of all peoples to determine their own destiny and political future of their homeland. Pakistan’s support for Sikh people’s movement to achieve Khalistan through Referendum, will further strengthen Pakistan’s longstanding stance of right to self-determination for the people of Kashmir through a UN backed plebiscite.
