London-Based Baloch Human Rights and Political Activist Aomar Karim Issues Statement on Pakistan’s Attempts to Deny Education to Baloch Students
London – In a statement issued on Aomar Karim’s official website, Aomarkarim.com, the London-based Baloch human rights and political activist has strongly condemned Pakistan’s ongoing efforts to deprive Baloch students of their right to education.
Karim expressed concern that, under the pretext of security measures, the Pakistani government has been closing educational institutions in Balochistan, including The University of Balochistan, Sardar Bahadur Khan Women’s University, and the University of Turbat. This action, according to Karim, is part of a broader, deliberate strategy aimed at restricting Baloch access to education and further isolating them from opportunities for progress and empowerment.
“The closure of educational institutions in Balochistan, including The University of Balochistan, Sardar Bahadur Khan Women’s University, and the University of Turbat, is a calculated effort to prevent Baloch youth from obtaining education, which is essential for their future,” stated Aomar Karim. “This isn’t just an attack on education; it’s an attempt to suppress the future of the Baloch people.”
Karim further stressed the fundamental importance of education as a human right and called on the international community to take a stand against the repression in Balochistan. He emphasized his unwavering commitment to advocating for the rights of Baloch students and ensuring they have access to quality education, free from government interference.
Aomar Karim’s statement serves as a call to action for human rights organizations, policymakers, and international advocates to demand the immediate reopening of educational institutions in Balochistan and to hold Pakistan accountable for its actions.
