IVBMP Canada to launch awareness campaign in support of #‎VBMPLongMarch‬

Canada: Vancouver - International Voice for Baloch Missing Persons (IVBMP) and Baloch Human Rights Council of Canada (BHRC) will start an awareness campaign to seek Canadian public support for the on-going peaceful and historic long march by the Voice for Baloch Missing Persons (VBMP) for justice and recovery of thousands of abducted Baloch activists from the illegal custody of Pakistani forces.

VBMP ...consists of families of the victims of the enforced disappearances and killed & dump policy of Pakistani state since 2001. It has been waging a peaceful struggle for the last several years to gain international attention this urgent issue of abductions and extra-judicial killings of Baloch activists by Pakistani forces.

The on-going long march from Quetta (Balochistan) to Islamabad, which will walk approximately 3000 kilometres, is being led by Abdul Qadeer Baloch, 70 year-old Vice President of VBMP, whose son Jalil Reki was abducted, tortured and executed in custody by the Pakistani state security forces, Farzana Majeed Baloch who’s brother Zakir Majeed Baloch senior vice chairman of BSO-Azad was abducted in 2009 and is still in the custody of Pakistani forces. The march is accompanied family members of other enforced-disappeared Baloch activists.

The U.N. representatives and envoys of Western democracies in Islamabad have a moral obligation to listen to the Baloch families’ stories of suffering and injustices experienced under Pakistan’s military and civilian governments.

The West cannot look the other way and ignore the inhuman atrocities committed by the Pakistan Army in Balochistan for too long - the time to act has come, and it is now.

VBMP & BHRC Canada invite human rights defenders and people from all walks of life to participate and support their awareness campaign on human rights in Balochistan.

WHERE: Simon Fraser University.
LOCATION: South Academia Quadrangle 300 Level
WHEN: January 17, 2014
