A delegation of the Baloch National Movement (BNM) met members of the Dutch Parliament to raise concerns over what it described as persistent and grave human rights violations in Pakistan’s Balochistan province.

The delegation highlighted Pakistan’s human rights record and its obligations under the GSP Plus trade framework during the discussions.

In a post on X, the BNM said: “Netherlands: Baloch National Movement (BNM) meets Dutch Parliament representatives, holds detailed discussions on human rights violations in Balochistan and GSP Plus.”

According to the post, the BNM delegation held detailed discussions with Dutch parliamentary representatives on the ongoing human rights situation in Balochistan and also submitted a formal petition outlining its concerns.

The delegation was led by Muheem Abdul Raheem Baloch, president of the BNM’s Netherlands chapter. Other members included Jamal Baloch, Paank media coordinator; Waheed Baloch, chapter vice president; Deedag Baloch, general secretary; Bahar Baloch, finance secretary; along with Abid Baloch and Zohra Baloch.

Jamal Baloch briefed Dutch lawmakers on the situation in Balochistan, alleging that serious and systematic human rights violations by Pakistani security forces are continuing in the region.

The delegation claimed that military operations, house bombings, drone strikes, and enforced disappearances have become routine. It further alleged that women are increasingly being subjected to enforced disappearances, and that individuals who speak out against these alleged abuses are also being targeted.
