11 August Ã¢â¬â Balochistan Independence Day(Protest and Meeting in London)

Three days before PakistanÃ¢â¬â¢s secession from India. Balochistan was already declared an independent state. The independence of Balochistan was recognised by the management of the upcoming Pakistan through an announcement from Dehli on 11 August 1947.

On 12 August 1947 the New York Times published Pakistan's announcement which read: Ã¢â¬ÅKarachi, Aug, 11, 1947 [AP] Ã¢â¬â Among the congratulatory messages read to the Pakistan assembly today was one from United States Secretary of State George C. Marshall. An announcement from New Dehli said that Kalat, Moslem State in Balochistan, had reached an agreement with Pakistan for a free flow of communication and commerce, and would negotiate for decisions on defense, external affairs and communications. Under the agreement Pakistan recognizes Kalat as an independent, sovereign state with a status different from that of Indian statesÃ¢â¬Â.

London: Baluchistan human rights activists, Hyrbyair Marri and Faiz Baluch, were acquitted of terrorism charges by a London court on 11 February 2009.

The 15-month case served to highlight the close cooperation between the UK and Pakistan governments in the so-called Ã¢â¬Åwar on terrorÃ¢â¬Â. Defending Baluch, Baroness Helena Kennedy QC said he was a Ã¢â¬Åcasualty of geopoliticsÃ¢â¬Â and the US led war on terror.

The Baluch people, long enduring fierce repression, have been campaigning for democracy, human rights and self-determination. Repression was intensified during the former regime of General Musharraf, but there has been little let up since the change of government in Pakistan.

Baluchistan is the largest of Pakistan's four provinces, but the region cuts across the borders in to Afghanistan and Iran. The Baluch are one of the worldÃ¢â¬â¢s unrecognised nations now struggling for survival in the face of Ã¢â¬Åunprecedented levels of repressionÃ¢â¬Â, and Ã¢â¬Åsuffering a slow deathÃ¢â¬Â in the words of Helena Kennedy QC.
