Tariq Baloch, son of Mohammad Ashraf was born on September 12, 1993, in Mastung city of Balochistan. He was from the historical centre of Baloch national politics, Mastung. He completed his early education in his hometown and did his intermediate in the same city. For further study, he went to Shaal and began preparing for medical examination. After working hard, he passed the medical examination and got admission in MBBS at Khyber Medical Collage, Peshawar.

At the college, he was a hardworking student in his field, and conscious student who began participating in student activities. He formally joined student politics on the platform of Baloch Students Organisation Azad. He was active in reading various books and debating in his circle. He was soon accepted in the political circle as brilliant and influential cadre of the organisation and was elected as president of BSO Azad Peshawar Zone. In his zonal presidency, he struggled hard in the region and mobilised the Baloch youth for the Baloch liberation movement. He organised the organisation and made m the Baloch youth united on a single platform of national struggle.

He studied medicine and MBBS not only as a profession but a path to love and serve the humanity in practical sense. The oppression and colonialism of his nation made him courageous to fight against it and the BSO got him more conscience and knowledgeable cadre. When the Pakistani state atrocities and crackdown on peaceful Baloch political workers were on peak, everyone was being targeted, he didn’t lose his strength neither he stepped back. He stood among the students and continued his peaceful political struggle for the oppressed Baloch nation.

He, like other activists of BSO Azad, was seen as threat against the colonial rule of the barbaric Pakistani state. He was on his vacation in Quetta when he was abducted by intelligence agencies of Pakistan state. He was forcibly disappeared along with his fellow comrade Mehmood Baloch on 8, August 2011. After detaining for ten days, his mutilated dead body was dumped in Ganjadori, Mastung on August 18, 2011 by intelligence services of Pakistani state. His body was bearing severe signs of torture.

Recognising his national responsibility he joined the national struggle when he was pursuing his medical degree. BSO Azad pays richest tribute to its fallen comrade and reminds the Baloch youth to remember the sacrifices of our fallen comrades who struggled against the Pakistani colonialism over Balochistan till their last breath. He is always remembered is a student hero among the ranks of the organisation and in the struggle for Balochistan’s liberation.
