Rights leader calls on global community to act against Pakistan’s brutality in Balochistan
Quetta – Dec. 10 (LatestNewsX) – Mir Yar Baloch, a prominent human‑rights advocate from Balochistan, sent a letter to the world on Wednesday to spotlight the “extreme brutality” being waged by Pakistani forces, which include airstrikes and large‑scale military campaigns across the province.
In his communication, he accused Army chief General Asim Munir of trying to off‑load the region’s mineral and rare‑earth resources – worth trillions of dollars – to foreign buyers.
The notice arrived on International Human Rights Day, a holiday that marks the United Nations General Assembly’s adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on December 10, 1948.
“Pakistan’s occupational forces continue to deploy extreme brutality, including air power and large‑scale military operations, to crush the legitimate and indigenous aspirations of the Baloch people. Our struggle is not one of chaos; it is a struggle of hope for a free Balochistan where equal rights prevail, prosperity is shared, and no land is used to breed terror or extremism,” Mir stated.
“Today, under the radical and militarised regime of General Asim Munir, Pakistan is attempting to sell trillions of dollars’ worth of Balochistan’s minerals and rare earth resources to foreign powers, while simultaneously conducting massive military operations against the very people who own this land,” he added.
Mir stressed that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, created to safeguard dignity, freedom, equality and justice, is not a “privilege reserved for the powerful,” but an inalienable right belonging to everyone.
“This day exists to remind governments, international institutions, and global powers that silence in the face of injustice is complicity,” he said.
The activist alleged that the Baloch are being punished “not for violence, but for opposing illegal occupation, exploitation, loot, and plunder.” He argued that the continued “illegal presence of Pakistani and Iranian forces” in Balochistan is the root cause of the ongoing gross human‑rights violations, noting that until the occupation ends, “justice will remain a slogan rather than a reality.”
“We are struggling to preserve our identity; to safeguard our resources, boundaries, culture, language, and very existence and existence deliberately eroded by the regimes in Islamabad and Tehran,” Mir stated. He also called on the international community to move beyond “selective morality” and take immediate, concrete action to end the human‑rights violations in Balochistan.
