NEW DELHI: The Free Balochistan Movement in Germany organised a demonstration in Dortmund on May 25 to highlight the impact of Pakistan’s nuclear test conducted in Balochistan on May 28, 1998. The protest aimed to create public awareness about the risks associated with Pakistan’s nuclear weapons.
During the protest, participants distributed information pamphlets written in German and expressed their concerns about ongoing human rights violations committed by Pakistan and Iran in Balochistan. They held banners and placards to educate German people about the environmental and health impacts of Pakistan’s nuclear activities in the region, which have led to problems such as cancer and birth defects.
The protesters detailed the extensive damage caused to agriculture and livestock farming in Chagai and Gurdhu areas. They accused Pakistan of storing nuclear weapons assets in Balochistan cities, including Khuzdar and Somiand, and called for international intervention to address the situation.
Protesters warned that Pakistan’s nuclear weapons were a threat to regional and global peace, especially given its history of nuclear threats.
FBM Germany organiser Abdul Wajid Baloch, concerned about Pakistan’s economic instability and the risk of nuclear weapons falling into the hands of militants, appealed to responsible countries to support Pakistan’s disarmament efforts. FBM activists called on international organisations working on nuclear disarmament to help remove Pakistan’s nuclear weapons from Balochistan.
The protest was spoken by Abdul Wajid Baloch, Ubaid Zafri Baloch, Faris Baloch, Bibagul Baloch, Naveed Baloch and human rights activist Rojad from Kurdistan.
