Balochistan Students Organisation Azad commemorates International Students’ Day.
Through a statement issued today, BSO-A also took the opportunity to remind the public about their own conditions.
Baloch Students Organization Azad (BSO-A) Central Spokesperson said in an issued statement that the International Students’ Day is observed every year globally on November 17. The day when the Nazi Army attacked on Czechoslovakia in the beginning of the World War II (WWII) in 1939 and imposed dictatorship.
But in response, the students’ organization of Czechoslovakia protested for the independence, democracy and against that unjustified occupation. In retaliation, the Nazi Army attacked on students, arrested several of them and executed nine among them. The November 17 is observed every year to commemorate those students and their sacrifices for a noble cause.
The Spokesperson said that BSO Azad has been struggling for the Baloch students and national rights since the very first day which made BSO Azad to face severe conditions from the state. The state began the sequence of the enforced disappearance of Baloch students in order to compel them to withdraw from their struggle of rights, and this sequence is continued with high intensity since many years till date.
‘Several student leaders are illegally detained in the state secret detention centers for several years which include many leaders from the vice chairman of organization Zakir Majeed to the Secretary General Sanaullah Baloch, Spokesmen added.
The student organization is banned since 2013 by the Pakistani State.
BSO-A, including some other Baloch nationalist parties have been alleging Pakistani forces and intelligence agencies for the enforced disappearances and extra judicial killings of Baloch political activists.
International campaign groups including Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International also accuse Pakistani security forces as the culprits of ‘illegal abductions in Balochistan’.
Pakistani Military denies the allegations.
