Seoul, March 23 (NationPress) The Baloch National Movement (BNM) organized a peaceful demonstration in Busan, South Korea, to shed light on the severe human rights violations occurring in Balochistan. These violations include enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, torture, and systematic repression directed at Baloch civilians, activists, and their families by Pakistani forces.

The BNM reported that the protest on Sunday evening, held near the Apple Outlet at Sasang Station, was part of a larger international campaign aimed at exposing what they termed a "policy of collective punishment" in the region.

Protesters raised awareness about the escalating crisis and distributed informative pamphlets in both English and Korean, which detailed the recent alarming statistics and patterns of abuse in Balochistan.

The pamphlets highlighted the role of Pakistan's Frontier Corps (FC) in these abuses and stressed the absence of accountability. The BNM called upon the global community to acknowledge this crisis as a grave humanitarian emergency.

During the gathering, speakers asserted that these violations represent serious breaches of international law, potentially amounting to crimes against humanity. They demanded accountability from the Pakistani government and called for intervention from the United Nations, human rights organizations, and the international community.

Protesters chanted slogans such as "Stop the genocide in Balochistan," "End enforced disappearances," "Pakistan: Stop killing Baloch people," and "Baloch wants justice."

Referring to reports from Paank, the human rights division of the BNM, it was noted that 109 cases of enforced disappearances and 50 cases of extrajudicial killings were documented in February alone, while January saw 82 enforced disappearances and 12 extrajudicial killings.

In the first half of March, the BNM reported multiple incidents of violence, including the alleged extrajudicial killing of a Baloch civilian in Awaran district after months of being missing, in addition to another killing in Panjgur district and fresh abductions.

According to findings, over 1,200 enforced disappearances were recorded in 2025, with many individuals still unaccounted for, including women, adolescents, and minors.

The report also mentioned more than 200 extrajudicial killings and a troubling "kill-and-dump" policy, where mutilated bodies are discarded to instill fear.

"The plight in Balochistan is relentless: families await news of their missing loved ones, and bodies of the deceased are left as warnings. Peaceful demonstrators are subjected to arrest and worse. Today’s protest in South Korea stands in solidarity with the countless Baloch families enduring this nightmare and with the ongoing movements within Balochistan," stated the BNM.

The BNM emphasized that their global campaign will persist until all enforced disappearances cease, perpetrators are brought to justice, and the Baloch people can enjoy dignity, freedom, and their fundamental human rights.

"The voices raised today in Busan contribute to a growing international outcry that refuses to remain silent," it concluded.
