Press Statement: Baloch Voice Association President Munir Mengal Presents Concerns to French Senator Regarding Chinese Involvement in Balochistan

Mr. Munir Mengal, President of the Baloch Voice Association, had the esteemed opportunity to meet with Mr. M. Hervé Reynaud, a distinguished French Senator, to discuss and present a comprehensive dossier highlighting the deep concerns of the Baloch people regarding Chinese involvement and projects in Balochistan. The meeting was held in the context of the upcoming visit of Chinese President to France.

During the meeting, Mr. Mengal underscored the significant apprehensions of the Baloch people regarding Chinese initiatives within Balochistan, which have been carried out against the will and interests of the local populace. Balochistan, currently under occupation by Pakistan, has faced challenges stemming from the implementation of various projects and agreements that adversely affect the Baloch people and their rights.

Mr. Mengal emphasized that Pakistan, as an occupying power, lacks the legitimate authority to enter into agreements or grant concessions over Balochistan's territory or resources. The agreements made by Pakistan with foreign entities, including those involving China, do not represent the will or consent of the Baloch people.

The dossier presented by Mr. Mengal to Senator Reynaud elucidated the following key concerns:

Chinese Involvement in Balochistan: Highlighting specific projects and initiatives where Chinese involvement has been detrimental to local interests, Mr. Mengal articulated the need for greater scrutiny and accountability in such ventures.

Violation of Baloch Rights: Emphasizing the fundamental rights of the Baloch people to determine the fate of their homeland and resources, the dossier elucidated instances where these rights have been disregarded.

Upcoming Chinese President's Visit: In light of the impending visit of the Chinese President to France, Mr. Mengal expressed the urgent necessity for international attention and action on the plight of the Baloch people.

Senator Reynaud acknowledged the gravity of the concerns raised by Mr. Mengal and assured him of his commitment to advocate for a deeper examination of these issues within the French legislative framework. The meeting concluded with a mutual understanding of the importance of amplifying the voices of marginalized communities, such as the Baloch people, on the global stage.

Mr. Munir Mengal's initiative in presenting these critical concerns to Senator Reynaud underscores the ongoing struggle of the Baloch people for self-determination and justice in the face of challenging circumstances. The Baloch Voice Association remains steadfast in its mission to bring attention to these vital issues and to seek international support in upholding the rights and aspirations of the Baloch people.

Baloch Organizations Call on Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for Reinvestigation into the Mysterious Murder of Baloch Activist Karima Baloch

[Geneva 5th Oct. 2023) – Baloch Voice Association, Baloch Peoples Congress, and Voice for Baloch Missing Persons have jointly submitted a letter to the Canadian Mission in Geneva, urging the Canadian Prime Minister, Honourable Justin Trudeau, to take immediate steps for the reinvestigation of the mysterious murder of Baloch activist Karima Baloch. The organizations are seeking justice for the late activist and insist on bringing the perpetrators to court.

Karima Baloch, a prominent Baloch activist and former Chairperson of the Baloch Students Organization (BSO-Azad), was found dead under mysterious circumstances in Toronto, Canada, in December 2020. Her death raised significant concerns within the Baloch community and sparked calls for a thorough and impartial investigation.

In the joint letter, the Baloch organizations commend the Canadian government for its commitment to human rights and justice. They express their trust in the Canadian legal system and call for a transparent and thorough reinvestigation into the circumstances surrounding Karima Baloch's death.

The Baloch organizations emphasize the importance of bringing those responsible for Karima Baloch's death to justice, highlighting the significance of accountability in upholding the principles of justice and human rights. They request the Canadian government to utilize its resources and diplomatic channels to ensure a comprehensive and unbiased examination of the case.

The letter also acknowledges the global recognition of Canada's commitment to human rights, making it a crucial ally in the pursuit of justice for victims of violence and human rights abuses worldwide.

Baloch Voice Association, Baloch Peoples Congress, and Voice for Baloch Missing Persons are united in their plea to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to champion the cause of justice and take necessary actions to ensure that Karima Baloch's case is thoroughly investigated, and the perpetrators are brought before the court.

It is the writing on wall now that the Punjabi state of Pakistan will not be able to run - the reason for this is egocentric mentality of so-called Punjabi upper class and the corrupt Punjabi army. Therefore, in order to protect the rights of occupied people and regional interest it is necessary that the Punjabi state of Pakistan should be dismantled, and the peoples of this geographical region should prepare to take their matters into their own hands.
