Through indescribably adversity Mama Qadeer, Banuk Farzana
Majeed Baloch, and the #VBMPLongMarch protestors march directly into the face
of oppression. After marching nearly
2000km the #WalkForJustice was halted outside Gujrat city thiss morning by
Punjab Police. Although they had not
violated any laws, local Police barricaded the road with a large bus and
detained the protestors. Despite attempts
by the police to dissuade the marchers from completing their 2160km journey to
Islamabad, the #VBMPLongMarch protestors remained vigilant, their resolve
unshaken. Standing firm against all odds,
directly in the face of the oppressive state agencies, the Voice for Baloch
Missing Persons Long Marchers refused to walk away from the 18,000+ innocent
Baloch disappeared by the Pakistani State.
The Long March demonstrators held their ground and refused to abandon
the Long March. After an hour of
demonstrations, local Police removed the blockade and allowed the Long March
protestors to continue through Gujrat.
With each passing day the violent threats against the
protestors and their relatives escalate in severity. Yesterday after a well received demonstration
in Rahwali, Wazirabad, Mama Qadeer received a phone call promising him the Long
March would never reach Pindi or Islamabad.
The caller went on to threaten the protestors and their relatives as
well as their gracious hosts in Wazirabad.
10 days ago in a vehicular attack, Mohmmad Irfan and several other
marchers were injured by an unidentified truck near Okara. Despite crude threats and a cowardly attack,
Mama Qadeer and Banuk Farzana Majeed Baloch continue to lead the
#WalkForJustice Long March for the safe release of the 18,000+ abducted
Baloch citizens. Their brave and heroic
#WalkForJustice generating international awareness of the ongoing campaign of
ethnic cleansing in Balochistan.
