WASHINGTON, D.C: March 7, 2013. (PCP) The members of the Baloch community in United States held a highly successful protest rally in front of the White House to draw the attention of President Obama to the ongoing Pakistani military operation, human right violations, arbitrary arrests, extra-judicial killings, disappearances and genocide in Balochistan. The protest rally was organized by the Baloch Society of North America (BSO-NA) and Balochistan National Congress (BNC), Washington D.C chapter. Despite the heavy rain, snow and stormy bad weather the protestors carried on to make the history. Many people flew from far away to attend the rally. Arshad Umrani, from Balochistan Strategic Forum and President of BNC - Chicago Chapter, came all the way from Chicago with his friends to attend the rally. Andrew Eiva, who is working with Sudanese resistance forces in Sudan came with Sudanese community members to join the rally. The participants were chanting slogans; PAKISTAN: STOP the human Right Violations in Balochistan PAKISTAN: STOP Killing in Balochistan PAKISTAN: STOP "Kill and Dump" in Balochistan PAKISTAN: STOP Disappearances in Balochistan PAKISTAN: STOP Genocide in Balochistan PAKISTAN: STOP military Operation in Balochistan OBAMA: STOP Funding Terrorist Pakistan OBAMA: We want intervention in Balochistan OBAMA: We want Freedom OBAMA: Balochs want Freedom FREE FREE Balochistan FREE FREE Balochistan LONG LIVE Baloch Struggle for freedom PAKISTAN: END THE OCCUPATION of Balochistan IRAN: END THE OCCUPATION of Balochistan China: Hands OFF Balochistan China: Hands OFF GWADAR Speaking at the rally, Dr. Wahid Baloch, the organizer and President of Baloch Society of North America (BSO-NA) and Balochistan National Congress (BNC), Washington D.C chapter, said that the Pakistani and Iranian occupying forces have intensified their military aggression and Baloch genocide in Balochistan. Target killings, arrests, kidnappings and raids on Baloch houses have increased manifold and these are all being done in the name of responding to the sectarian killings, orchestrated by jihadi/sectarian groups transplanted in Balochistan to spread Islamic radicalism, to counter Baloch nationalists. Over the past two years more than seven hundreds bullet riddled dead bodies of "Baloch missing persons” detained without charge by Pakistani security forces have been found all across Balochistan, he said. "There passes not a single day when a Baloch mother, father, sister or brother does not collect the bullet riddled tortured dead body of their love one", he said. He ask President Obama to intervene in Balochistan. "Balochistan is burning Mr. President and calls for international intervention. The international Intervention in Balochistan is long over due in and it must be carried out to save the lives of Baloch people in their own homeland Balochistan", he said. "How long Baloch people have to wait for your attention and help Mr. President"? He asked. He said that the Chinese Government have also joined hands with Pakistan to kill and dump more Baloch and loot and plunder the Baloch resources against Baloch people's will and consent. Pakistan recently sold strategic port Gwadar to China. "We strongly condemn, oppose and reject this unilateral decision of handing over our port to china and We warn Chinese Government to not be a partner of Baloch "kill and dump" and disappearances with Pakistan and exploitations of Baloch Natural resources against Baloch wishes", said Dr. Baloch. He said, Balochistan belongs to Baloch people and China or Pakistan has no right to decide about Balochistan, Baloch Coasts and resources without their consent. Only Baloch people can exercise such right. He said, China must leave Balochistan.
