The IVBMP (UK) coordinator Faiz Baluch talked about Balochistan's history, its occupation by the British and subsequent division by drawing two arbitrary line without the consent of Baloch people.
He also told the audience that Pakistan occupied Balochistan declared its independence on 11 August 1947 but Pakistan attacked and occupied it on 27 March 1948.
He said since then Pakistan has carried out five major military operations in Baluchistan to crush the Baluch liberation movement. These military operations were in 1948, 1958, 1962, 1973-77 and the year 2000 which is still continuing. Thousands of people were killed during each of these operations; hundreds of thousands were expelled from their ancestral land. The displaced people fled to neighboring countries including Afghanistan and Gulf states.
He said that since the beginning of the new wave of military operations in 2000, Pakistani forces abducted more than 18000 Baloch activists including women and children. 1500 among these people have already been killed in custody and their bodies found dumped in desolated area across Balochistan. Human Rights Organizations describe this heinous act as the "Kill and Dump" policy of the state forces in Balochistan.
He said: "The main target of disappearances and kill & dump policies are well educated Baloch youth including students, teachers, university professors, lawyers, poets, singers and other members of Baloch society. Their ages vary from 10 year old kids to 85 year old men and women."
