There is perhaps no other example in the modern history of where the martyrdom of a single leader so deeply influenced Baloch youth and drew them into resistance.

Today, we remember Shaheed Akbar Khan Bugti as one of the most important and influential leaders of Balochistan and the modern Baloch movement.

The Baloch National Movement (BNM) held a march and protest in the German city of Göttingen against the Pakistan Air Force’s bombardment of civilian areas in Surab, Balochistan, and the ongoing state repression in the region. Demonstrators expressed solidarity with the victims and their families and called on the international community to take immediate notice of the situation, ensure an independent investigation, and hold those responsible accountable.

The protesters urged the European Union, the United Nations, and the international community to take immediate action in response to reports of civilian deaths and human rights violations in Balochistan. They called for an end to the silence surrounding the situation and demanded effective measures to protect civilians and prevent further violence.

Addressing the protest, BNM Germany President Asghar Baloch described the ongoing repression of civilians in Balochistan as part of a broader pattern of abuses that has continued for decades. He said that Pakistan’s actions in Balochistan reflect a colonial mindset rooted in the relationship between an occupying power and a subjugated people. He stated that Balochistan has faced persistent state repression for decades in the context of the Baloch struggle for freedom.

BNM Germany General Secretary Luqman Baloch said that recent airstrikes by the Pakistan Air Force in Surab and Kharan had killed more than 20 civilians, including women, children and elderly people. He said the ongoing media blackout in Balochistan was hindering the independent and transparent verification of reports of state violence.

Washma Baloch called on international institutions and human rights organisations to take effective action through international mechanisms to prevent further violence and ensure the protection of civilians.

Akbar Baloch highlighted the Surab tragedy and the issue of enforced disappearances in Balochistan, criticising what he described as systematic discrimination against the Baloch people. He said the Baloch nation continues its struggle for its fundamental rights and freedom, while accusing Pakistan of pursuing policies that amount to genocide against the Baloch nation in an attempt to suppress their struggle.

Martyr Haji Razzaq Baloch: BNM Leader Abducted and Killed in Pakistan Army Custody

Martyr Haji Razzaq Baloch was a prominent leader of the Baloch National Movement (BNM). A former Information Secretary of the BNM, he was forcibly disappeared and later killed in the custody of the Pakistan Army.

A distinctive personality with a profound philosophical outlook, Haji Razzaq Baloch was a valuable intellectual figure in the Baloch national liberation movement. His ideas and contributions played an important role in shaping the intellectual direction of the struggle. The BNM honours his political and intellectual legacy and deeply values his contributions.

His killing was part of the broader campaign of repression against the Baloch nation, in which prominent leaders, intellectuals, and national thinkers have been targeted in an effort to deprive the nation of its leadership and collective intellectual strength. Numerous BNM leaders and activists have fallen victim to this policy of repression by the Pakistan Army.

Martyr Haji Razzaq Baloch (Sarbazi), son of Haji Rasool Bakhsh, was a resident of Karachi. A journalist by profession, he joined the Baloch national liberation movement through the platform of the Baloch National Movement (BNM).

In 2006, he was elected Zonal Organiser of the BNM's Karachi Zone. In 2008, he became a member of the BNM Central Committee. Later, at the party's Eighth National Council Session in 2010, he was elected Information and Culture Secretary of the Baloch National Movement.

On 24 March 2013, Haji Razzaq Baloch was forcibly disappeared from Karachi by the Pakistan Army. Nearly five months later, on 21 August 2013, his body was found in Karachi with multiple bullet wounds.
