Quetta (Balochistan), Dec 12 (NVI) Baloch National Movement (BNM) has highlighted the human rights violations suffered by the people of Balochistan under illegal occupation of Pakistan outside the Parliament of The Netherlands.
Members and supporters of the BNM, Netherlands Chapter, raised the issue by staging a peaceful demonstration in front of the Dutch Parliament two days back on the occasion of International Human Rights Day.
There were fervent demands for freedom of Balochistan at the event.
The protesters said talked about human rights violations in Balochistan, where the voices of an entire community are being silenced.
Local fishermen are denied access to the sea, their only livelihood and students are forcibly disappeared, leaving families in anguish, said Basit Z Baloch, a member of BNM.
The right to freedom of speech is suppressed, with Balochi books banned and singers censored from expressing their culture and history through music, he said.
