Aomar Karim Highlights Human Rights Violations in Balochistan at London Conference
Baloch human rights activist Aomar Karim participated in the ‘Solidarity with Ukraine’ event and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) conference in London. During his speech, he highlighted the human rights violations by Pakistan in the Balochistan province. Karim aimed to inform UK lawmakers and human rights activists about the current conditions in Balochistan and urged them to advocate for an end to these abuses by Pakistani security forces.
Karim distributed pamphlets that highlighted several key issues, including the problem of missing persons and the extrajudicial killings of individuals who have disappeared. The pamphlets also addressed the crackdown on peaceful protests by Baloch Yakjehti and Pakistan’s ongoing ‘occupation’ of Balochistan.
He emphasized the need for unity among various Baloch political parties in the UK to deliver a consistent message about Balochistan to the international community. “The world will not listen until we present a unified front. It is crucial to show our unity so that the global community can engage with us on Baloch issues,” Karim added.
The conference, now the largest assembly of the Workers Party Union in the UK, featured participation from MPs, the UK Prime Minister, senior officials from various Workers Parties, and human rights activists. During his visit, Aomar Karim met with several human rights organisations and UK MPs, who pledged to organise upcoming meetings and programs focused on the issues facing Balochistan. He concluded by urging Baloch parties and human rights advocates to engage in these programs and to persist in raising awareness about Balochistan on the international stage.
