.Cologne (Press Release) Free Balochistan Movement observed the 27 March as a Black day and held demonstrations in London and Cologne. Free Balochistan Movement’s Germany’s branch held a protest rally in the Cologne city of Germany. This protest rally commenced from the Koln Messe Deutz and marched through various streets and arrived at the main train station of Cologne where the speakers gave speeches in various languages.
“The Baloch national struggle for freedom is not only an inspiration for other nations in the region but it has also gained recognition on international level due to the sacrificed of the Baloch nation and consistent resistance to foreign invasion,” the speakers added.
The FBM activists expressed disappointment over the silence of Human Rights groups, the European Union, the United Nations, and Democratic and civilized nations on the gross human rights abuses in the occupied Balochistan at the hands of invading Iranian and Pakistan armies.
The Baloch protesters have urged the civilised world to show similar solidarity with Balochistan as they are showing with Ukraine and have against the Russian invasion. “Pakistan and Iran have been involved in crimes that amount to ethnic cleansing and war crimes. Yet we see no international support, solidarity and outcry in support of the Baloch nation.”
