The central spokesperson of Baloch Students Organization-Azad (BSO-A) has condemned the raid on Central Chairperson of BSO-Azad Karima Baloch’s home by the state forces.
In a statement issued to the media, BSO-A said that our organisation is a peaceful student organization which uses peaceful means of struggle in national independence movement, but the state is afraid of BSO-Azad’s political struggle and has deployed the entire state machinery to deviate BSO-Azad from its peaceful means of struggle.
‘BSO-Azad’s hundreds of activists have been killed and disappeared by the state of Pakistan which includes the central leaders and members alike. Raid on Karima Baloch’s house and torture of her family members, in fact, shows the defeat and fear of the sate. This is not a lone case, House of Karima Baloch and several other political activists have been raided, looted and their family members have severely been tortured in past too, BSO-Azad’s spokesperson said.
He added that in 2014, Chairperson Karima Baloch’s house was attacked by mortar shells, then her home was raided and family members were badly tortured, but the morale of Baloch political activists won’t be down by such acts of state, instead such tactics will be the factors to boost their morale.
Condemning the military operations, BSO-A Spokesperson said that the forces killed two Baloch individuals, Murad Baksh Bugti and Rindo Bugti, and injured several others through fighter jet bombardment in Dera Bugti.
He added that the ground forces sealed the entry and exit points of the area, and the area is under the complete army siege since then. Seven people have been abducted during the home-to-home search operations and the raids of the forces. These abductees were shifted to the local army camp.
the spokesperson said that the international laws give the Baloch nation right to raise their voice to attract attention of the world, but Pakistan is depriving the Baloch nation of this basic right as well. ‘It is the fundamental responsibility of the United Nations to bring Pakistan to the International Court of Justice for committing serious human rights violation,’ BSO-Azad demanded.
