London, 25 March 2025 – Aomar Karim, a prominent Baloch human rights activist, participated in a crucial meeting held at the UK Parliament on 24 March 2025, distributing a leaflet titled Free Mahrang Baloch! End the Repression in Balochistan! The event, titled WHAT NEXT? – USA, Europe & Ukraine, was hosted by Ian Lavery MP on behalf of the Ukraine Solidarity Campaign and brought together key political figures and activists to discuss Ukraine’s ongoing struggle against Russian aggression and the role of international solidarity.
The meeting featured Tanya Vyhovsky, a State Senator from Vermont (USA) and a member of the Vermont Progressive Party; Mick Antoniw, a Welsh Senedd member and a longstanding advocate for Ukraine’s labour movement.
During the event, Aomar Karim met with Tanya Vyhovsky, Bev Laidlaw, Deputy President of the PCS (Civil Service Trade Union), Mariia Pastukh of the Vsesvit Ukraine Solidarity Collective, and others to discuss the alarming human rights situation in Balochistan. Expressing solidarity with Ukraine, Karim drew parallels between the plight of the Ukrainian people and the oppression faced by the Baloch people under Pakistani authorities.
I can understand Ukraine’s situation because we Baloch in Balochistan are suffering the same oppression. Our people endure enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and the discovery of dumped bodies. In Pakistan, there are no rights—when you speak about your rights, you risk being killed by the security forces, he stated.
Karim highlighted the case of Dr. Mahrang Baloch, leader of the Baloch Yakjehti (Solidarity) Committee, who was arrested by Pakistani security forces on 22 March 2025 while leading a protest against the disappearances of Baloch youth. He also raised concerns about the recent arrests of Baloch activists Sammi Deen Baloch and Lala Wahab Baloch, who were detained just three hours before the event during a peaceful protest in Karachi. “Pakistani intelligence agencies and police cracked down on peaceful demonstrators, silencing voices demanding justice,” Karim noted.
He further stressed the harrowing reality of enforced disappearances in Balochistan, stating, “In every Baloch home, at least one family member has been forcibly disappeared. Families have no idea if their loved ones are alive or dead. Political and human rights activists with no information on their whereabouts.”
Appealing to human rights defenders and political activists worldwide, Karim urged them to raise your voices for the Baloch people. We need your solidarity to expose and end the atrocities being committed in Balochistan by Pakistani authorities.
In his concluding remarks, Aomar Karim expressed gratitude to the Ukraine Solidarity Campaign and the London trade unions for providing him with the platform to highlight the Balochistan crisis. “Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak and bring attention to our struggle,” he said.
