The proceedings were chaired by a photo of Baluchi scholar, writer and researcher Saba Dashtyari. Saba was gunned down in broad day light in Quetta, near an army check-post, while going home after work on 1st June 2011. Like many other heroes who fell victims of Pakistani government’s kill and dump policies, Saba also was critical of in-custody killings of Baluch activists who sought liberation of Baluchistan.
Speakers paid rich tribute to the ultimate sacrifices of the heroes of Baluchistan who had given their lives for a bright future for the Baluch and Baluchistan. They condemned Iranian & Pakistani atrocities against the Baluch and the crimes against humanity committed in Baluchistan by both rouge fundamental religious sates.
