Today, Nasser Boladai, Secretary General of the Baloch People’s Party, issued a statement in response to recent international calls urging humanitarian consideration for prisoners facing execution in Iran. He called on the global community and international leaders to adopt a broader and more consistent approach to human rights by also addressing the situation in Balochistan.
In his message, he welcomed the emphasis on the value of human life, compassion, and justice, stressing that such principles must be applied equally in all cases of human rights violations. Nasser Boladai specifically highlighted the situation of Mahrang Baloch, a prominent human rights activist and a leading voice of peaceful advocacy, who remains in detention.
He noted that Mahrang Baloch, a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, has become an internationally recognized advocate for human dignity and the rights of the people of Balochistan. He called for urgent international attention to her case, as well as to other detained members of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee.
Boladai further emphasized that the continued detention of civil and human rights activists not only raises serious international concerns but also poses a significant obstacle to dialogue, peace, and long-term stability in the region. He urged the Pakistani authorities to uphold humanitarian principles and fundamental rights by ensuring the release of these activists and by adopting dialogue and reconciliation instead of security-driven approaches.
The statement concludes by underscoring that support for human rights, justice, and peace must not be confined to any single geography, but should be upheld as universal values, equally respected and protected for all people, everywhere.
