Press Release, London 14/08/2023
The Baloch and Sindhi political activists and human rights campaigners observed 14 August as the black day for Sindhi and Baloch nations. A protest rally was organised by Sindhi Baloch Forum to highlight the subjugation of two nations by Pakistan after their forceful and deceitful annexation after the creation of Pakistan on 14th August 1947.  
The participants marched from Trafalgar Square to 10 Downing Street where a memorandum was submitted to the Prime Minister of Great Britain on behalf of Sindhi Baloch Forum requesting for immediate action on behalf of His Royal Highness’s government to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of Baloch and Sindhi people.    
The protest rally then marched to the Parliament Square where the rally was addressed by the leaders of Baloch National Movement (BNM), World Sindhi Congress (WSC) and Baloch Human Rights Council (BHRC) including Mr Manzoor Baloch of BNM, Mr Samad Baloch of BHRC, Mr Frankie, a researcher on Balochistan, Mr Mansoor Baloch of BRP, Dr Hidayat Bhutto of WSC and Dr Lakhu Luhana of WSC. The speakers condemned the continued violations of human rights in Sindh and Balochistan being perpetrated by Pakistani security forces. They asked the International Community to take the cognizance of widespread enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings of Baloch and Sindhi political, social and human rights activists.
Speakers also condemned the suppression of Baloch and Sindhi languages and sociocultural traditions and imposition of extremist religious ideologies by the Pakistani state in the secular Baloch and Sindhi societies. They also asked the civilized world to take notice of the forced conversions and marriages of minor Sindhi Hindu girls.
