Shakoor Baloch was born on 23rd August, 1988, in the fertile land of Mastung. He belonged to the Dehwar tribe of the Baloch nation. Shakoor Baloch did his primary and secondary education from his native town. After completing intermediate, he further decided to precede his higher education from Quetta where he joined the student politics. He joined BSO Azad and continued his student politics in the Baloch liberation movement.

Shakoor Baloch was highly devoted to the national cause that in a very young age, he embraced martyrdom for his motherland. In the initial phases of his political career, he was elected as Deputy and Unit Secretary of University of Balochistan (UOB) unit. After gaining political maturity and understanding, he was soon elected as a Central Committee Member of BSO Azad in 2012’s council session.

Moreover, Shakoor was a dedicated and committed political cadre of the Organization. Besides his educational career, he devoted his entire life to political purposes. To afford his educational expenses, he became a part-time teacher in a language Centre to continue his studies and politics contemporarily. He was a potential learner and his personality remained inspiring and effective among the Baloch Students. Shakoor was intensively a simple person with flexible behavior, unverbose nature and human loving character. His style of communicating with friends and people around him was appraised and he was a keen observer. Behind his unverbose nature, he had concealed the future of the Baloch nation.

Shakoor was martyred by the security forces of Pakistan on the 18th of August, 2013, in Saryab road nearby Balochistan University in front of Barma Hotel. This was a huge loss for all the Baloch nation and particularly for the Organization for which he had been a keen Central Committee Member. As usual colonial atrocities, his mother and father were also tortured and beaten by the Pakistani security agencies on the same day as they went to receive the dead body of the great and devoted son of the Baloch soil.

Shakoor Baloch devoted his life for the Baloch national cause, in time of severe crackdowns by tyrant Pakistani state on Baloch students, he never stepped back from the cause. The crackdowns and threatening of Baloch students, made him more committed to the cause. His struggle and thoughts are great literature for Baloch students. We pay tribute to the fallen comrade of BSO Azad, he will be remembered as student hero in long struggle against colonial Pakistani state.
