QUETTA, April 18: The activists of the Baloch Students Organisation held a demonstration at the end of their three-day token hunger strike against the military operation, arrests of political workers and students, and police raids on the houses of Baloch youths.

The protestors established the hunger strike camp in front of the press club where the members of the Baloch Students Organisation observed token hunger strike on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

They stated that it was the responsibility of the United Nations, the Organisation of Islamic Conference and international human rights organisations to take notice of the security forces’ tyranny against the Baloch people.

They demanded that all arrested political activists, including BNP-Mengal chief Sardar Akhtar Mengal and Chairman of the Baloch National Movement Ghulam Mohammad Baloch, should be released.

Mohammad Nabi Baloch, Abdul Salam Baloch and Zahid Baloch addressed the protestors.

Speakers alleged hundreds of innocent Baloch, including women and children, were killed or injured in the military operation in Dera Bugti, Kohlu, Kahan and other areas of the province and stated that thousands of youths were either arrested or had gone missing.
