A delegation from the Baloch National Movement (BNM) met with representatives of the Netherlands Parliament to address ongoing human rights violations by Pakistani forces in Balochistan. Discussions focused on violations in Balochistan and Pakistan’s trade status under the Generalised Scheme of Preferences Plus (GSP+). The BNM delegation, led by Muheem Abdul Raheem Baloch, highlighted issues such as military operations, enforced disappearances, and drone strikes in Balochistan.
The delegation informed Dutch Parliament representatives about the current situation in Balochistan and submitted a formal petition. They emphasized that both men and women are facing enforced disappearances, and individuals speaking out against violations are being targeted. Additionally, the BNM’s Human Rights Department reported the extrajudicial killing of Abdul Mutalib in Quetta by Pakistani forces, raising concerns about the circumstances of his death and the culture of impunity in the region.
Baloch Voice for Justice (BVJ) condemned the enforced disappearance of religious cleric Hassan in Balochistan, noting that he was taken from his home by Pakistani security personnel. The BVJ highlighted a pattern of disappearances affecting the Qambrani family, with 20 members targeted in January 2026. While some have been released, others, including Hassan, remain in intelligence agency custody.
