The Baloch nation members of UNPO
16 - 17 May 2008, in European Parliament in Brussels, Belgium,

The oppressed people of Balochistan appeal through UNPO’s GA to the United Nations, The European Union and the international human rights organizations to take immediate and necessary actions against the oppression and severe discrimination of Baloch people. This oppression has resulted in execution of innocent people, targeted killing of political opponents, political suppression, social injustice and severe violation of basic human rights in the western part of Balochistan which is under the rule of Islamic Republic of Iran.

Balochistan People’s Party would like to request,the European Parliament, the Human Rights organizations and the international community to immediately put sufficient pressure on the Iranian government in order to stop its policies of oppression and violation of human rights of the people of Balochistan.

Balochistan Peoples Party also demands that UN and EU take firm actions in order to put pressure on Iranian government to halt its practice of religious suppression and forced conversion of Sunnis to Shiism. Furthermore, immediate actions are needed to demand release of jailed human rights activists Mr. Yaqub Mehrnehad, Mr. Ibrahim Mehrnehad and their colleagues and to stop execution of Sunni religious leaders.

Balochistan People’s Party also demands that UN and EU put pressure on Iranian government to halt developing and testing of missiles in Balochistan.

Finally, we request the UN General Secretary to dispatch an investigating and fact finding commission to the areas of Al-Ahwaz, Azerbaijan, Balochistan, Kurdistan and Turkemensahra to gather information on violation of human rights by the Iranian authorities.
