The first-ever international conference on Baluchistan in Washington DC will bring together scholars, activists and human rights practitioners for finding ways to end the human rights violations in Western [Iran] and Eastern [Pakistan].

The conference has been organized to highlight Baluch issues in Eastern and Western Baluchistan -- now under Pakistani and Iranian occupation -- and to pay tributes to slain Baluch freedom fighter Nawabzada Balaach Marri, 41, an elected member of the Baluchistan state assembly and son of legendary Baluch leader Nawab Khair Bakhsh Marri.
