"August 14, 1947 - August 14, 2002:
Fifty-five Years of Occupation and Oppression" |
|
Sindhi Baloch Forum (SBF) calls upon all the human rights defenders, political, social and environmental activists; to join us in a rally to protest against the on-going social, cultural and economic exploitation of Baloch and Sindhi nations in Pakistan.
Baloch and Sindhi nations were annexed to the newly created state of Pakistan supposedly on the basis of "Pakistan Resolution of 1940", which promised, autonomy and sovereignty to its constituent units. But, this promise of autonomy and sovereignty was never fulfilled. The entire state remains dominated by the Punjab nation. This has resulted in an incredible sate of economical, political and social hegemony and a terrible human rights violation. Since last fifty-five years Baloch and Sindhi people are subjected to:
· Gross violations of human rights and democracy
· Unfair and unequal distribution of resources
· Denial of freedom of thought, conscious, and religion
· Unequal opportunities in governance and employment
· Illegal appropriation of their land, water and other natural resources
· State aggression, torture, imprisonment, and killing of their activist and civilians
· Complete denial of their cultural, language and development rights
