Outrage as Pak forces destroy Baloch memorial

Balochistan, August 10

In a troubling act of repression, Pakistani forces reportedly targeted and demolished the “Symbol of Baloch genocide” during a sit-in outside Balochistan University during the late hours of Friday night.

Taking to social media platform X, Baloch Yakjehti Committee wrote, “In a disheartening act of repression, the ‘Symbol of Baloch genocide’ placed at the sit-in in front of Balochistan University was deliberately broken by state institutions during the late hours of the night. This memorial, which honoured the thousands of Baloch lives lost to genocide and ongoing suffering of the Baloch nation, was destroyed in an attempt to erase the painful history it represents.”

The organisation said despite this cowardly effort to erase their history, they remained resolute in their quest for justice. They also noted that the Baloch nation’s resilience remained unshaken by such actions. — ANI
