My name is Aomar Karim, a Baloch in exile in the UK, and a human rights and political activist dedicated to highlighting the ongoing human rights violations in Balochistan. Through documenting events, sharing personal stories, engaging with UK MPs and human rights advocates, and hosting live discussions with political figures, I aim to raise awareness and amplify the message that Baloch Lives Matter. This is a struggle for justice, freedom, and dignity—let us unite and call for change.
I’m in exile in the UK, but continuing to struggle for my people’s rights to life and freedom. Ever since Pakistan occupied Balochistan in 1948 we have had widespread human rights abuses, disappearances, extrajudicial killings. However it’s got significantly worse…
Since 27 March 1948, when Balochistan was forcibly occupied by Pakistan, the Baloch people have endured systematic oppression and grave human rights violations. Enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and the discovery of mass graves have become a harsh reality in the region. This section sheds light on their resilience and unwavering fight for justice, freedom, and self-determination against decades of injustice.
Standing up for justice and human rights is not just an act of support—it’s a moral duty. The Baloch people have been fighting for their freedom and dignity for decades, facing oppression and violence. You can amplify their voice and push for real change by showing solidarity.
Change starts with action. Write to your MP or speak to your trade union about the human rights abuses in Balochistan, demanding the UK government ends its support for Pakistan’s repression. Your voice matters—use it to demand justice.
Rallies raise awareness and show support. By attending Baloch-led protests in the UK, you stand with those fighting for their rights. Every person sends a message: injustice won’t be ignored.
Aomar Karim is a Baloch human rights activist based in the UK. He is dedicated to raising awareness of the ongoing human rights violations in Balochistan through documentation, advocacy, and engagement with policymakers. Aomar's work aims to amplify the voices of the Baloch people and advocate for justice, freedom, and dignity.
Balochistan has been under occupation by both Pakistan and Iran. Pakistan annexed Balochistan on 27 March 1948, ending its brief period of independence. Iran controls the region known as Sistan and Baluchestan, where Baloch people also face repression. Both countries have systematically denied the Baloch people their right to self-determination, subjecting them to human rights abuses.
In both Pakistani and Iranian-controlled Balochistan, the Baloch people face enforced disappearances, arbitrary detentions, torture, extrajudicial killings, and restrictions on their cultural and political expression. These violations are part of a broader effort to suppress Baloch autonomy and erase their identity.
