Several days ago in Sindh the scorched remains of Shaheed Bashir Qureshi’s brother & JSQM leader Maqsoon Qureshi & his companion Salman Wadho were recovered from a smoldering bullet riddled car on Bhiria Road, Naushero Feroz, Sindh.  Maqsood Qureshi was travelling to Karachi to participate in today’s Sindh nationalist Freedom March rally. 

Since the discovery of Maqoon Qureshi & Salman Wadho’s remains, the Sindh province of Pakistan has exploded with unrest.  Citizens across Sindh have closed shops and joined the protests against the Violent State Oppression of Nationalist activism.  Despite the assassination of Maqsoon Qureshi, the Sindh #FreedomMarch was joined by thousands of participants.  JSQM Chairperson Sanan Qureshi issued the following statement “The killers thought that we will postpone our freedom march but we won’t.  They killed my father after our successful public meeting in Karachi two years ago. Now they have done the same to my uncle, days before our upcoming rally.”

On the upcoming March 27th Black Day, Baloch Salvation Front has called for a complete province wide workers strike and day of protest.  On March 27th of 1948 the newly created Pakistani State invaded, annexed, and occupied the sovereign country of Balochistan.  Since then Pakistan has conducted 5 brutal military campaigns against the Indigenous Population of Balochistan.  The citizens of Balochistan have suffered indescribable horrors during the tyrannical military occupations of the region.  The frequency and severity of human rights violations are compounded exponentially with each passing day.
