Members of the Baloch National Movement gathered in Hannover, Germany, to voice opposition to what they described as Pakistani state conduct in Balochistan — a pattern they characterised as encompassing the forced disappearance of individuals, killings carried out without judicial process, and armed operations against civilian populations.

Participants assembled at Kröpcke, in the centre of Hannover, before moving through the city on Monday toward the Lower Saxony State Parliament. Outside the parliament building, those present voiced their concerns through chanted slogans and distributed printed materials aimed at drawing attention to conditions in Balochistan, according to the BNM.

Protesters urged the international community to facilitate independent inquiries, pursue accountability for those deemed responsible, and adopt concrete steps toward recognising what they described as the Baloch people's right to determine their own political future.

At the gathering, BNM figures Asif Baloch and Aqib Baloch took the floor alongside PTM representatives Saeed Momand and Fazal Meena Khel. A subsequent BNM statement noted that speakers drew attention to enforced disappearances, arbitrary detention, torture, and deaths among civilian populations, while calling for closer coordination and a united front between the Baloch and Pashtun peoples.

Drawing on documentation compiled by Paank — the human rights arm of the BNM — delegates voiced concern about the killing of a number of civilians outside any judicial process in Panjgur district, Balochistan, during August 2026, among them Peer Jan, Shoaib Baloch, Hafiz Mudassir, Wazir Ahmed, and Jasim.

Demands put forward at the gathering included probes into the deaths of civilians, among them those killed in air and drone bombardments carried out across the province. Those present called on the United Nations and international human rights bodies to pay attention to the reported incidents and hold those deemed responsible to account.

The organisation restated its long-held position that the people of Balochistan hold the right to chart their own political course and to govern their collective future. The BNM statement called for the Balochistan question to be resolved through adherence to human rights principles, equitable governance, and the population's right to determine its own political future, rather than through coercive measures.

Earlier in the month, the BNM held a demonstration in Seattle, drawing attention to what the group described as human rights violations in Balochistan, including alleged military operations and aerial bombardments directed at civilian populations in the region.

BNM speakers at the Seattle event urged the American public to contact their representatives over what they described as ongoing human rights abuses in Balochistan, adding that, in their view, US taxpayer-funded assistance to Pakistan was being channelled in ways that benefit the Pakistani military. Addressing what they described as ongoing abuses, acts of violence, and military operations in Balochistan, the speakers stated that civilians in the region had been killed in attacks and aerial bombardments attributed to Pakistani forces.

Those gathered at the podium pressed Washington to reassess its ties with Islamabad, arguing that any financial or diplomatic backing extended to the country ought to hinge on measurable adherence to human rights standards.
