North American team calls for Baloch freedom in Geneva

Tatchell flew in from London on special invitation of Interfaith International's Mehran Baluch, who is a younger brother of slain Baluch independence leader Mir Bala'ach Marri. In his speech, Mehran Baluch made it clear that there is only one solution to ending the human rights violations in his occupied homeland: liberation of Balochistan.

GENEVA, MARCH 12 -- "Pakistan, Pakistan -- Taliban, Taliban" and "Who did nine-eleven, Pakistan, Pakistan" slogans raised by Malik Baloch of the American Friends of Balochistan caught the fancy of bypassers at the Broken Chair -- that symbloizes the end of colonialism and despotism -- today in front of the Palace of Nations in Geneva, Switzerland.

The slogans and speeches by a five-member pro-independence team from North America made a powerful impact at the 13th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council meeting in Geneva. The team was invited to Geneva by Mehran Baluch, who has represented Balochistan at the U.N. Human Rights Council for a decade now and who is the youngest son of the chief ideologue of Balochistan independence, Nawab Khair Bakhsh Marri.
