LONDON: Free Balochistan Movement (UK Zone) has announced to hold a seminar on 11th August to commemorate Balochistan’s Independence Day.

All UK-based Baloch and other people from all walks of life including human rights and political activists and other supporter/well-wishers of Baloch and Balochistan have been requested to participate.

“The purpose of the seminar is to inform the world about the declaration of Independence of Balochistan on 11th of August 1947 and almost a year later the illegal occupation of Balochistan by foreign invaders in 1948,” FBM said in its statement to media.

The FBM statement read, “Since Balochistan’s forcible and illegal occupation, the occupiers [Iran and Pakistan] have conducted nuclear tests, arbitrary disappeared and extra-judicially killed thousands of innocent people in Balochistan.”

The seminar will be held in the Polish Social and Cultural Association in London from 3 pm to 6 pm. Academics, intellectuals and political activists will share their views about Balochistan’s current situation and ongoing Human Rights violations by occupying states – Pakistan and Iran.
