MARTYR WAHEED BALOCH
The young conscious revolutionary
October 9, 2011
Waheed Baloch, son of Balach, was born in Khuzdar Balochistan. He opened his eyes in a world where his nation was already colonised and suffering from the colonial oppression. He got his early education in his hometown and completed matriculation.
He was very young when he got himself social with literary and political circles. He participated students politics in his matriculation period and he joined the vanguard of Baloch students, the Baloch Students Organisation Azad (BSO Azad). On this platform, he seriously engaged himself with national cause, he got national consciousness by studying and getting the knowledge through the ideological lens.
At this young age where students mostly study their academic subjects but he couldn’t make himself rely on just academic studies, rather he knew the real education and got knowledge on the platform of mother organisation, BSO Azad. He was threatened constantly by the colonial Pakistani security agencies to withdraw from the national cause but he never feared from those colonial authorities.
In response of his peaceful political activities and active member of the organisation, he was targeted. On August 8, 2011, Waheed was forcibly abducted from Khuzdar by colonial Pakistani intelligence personnels. Following two months of enforced disappearance and severe torture, his mutilated body, alongside of Ghulam Ullah Baloch, was discovered in Khuzdar on October 9, 2011. His body bore extensive marks of physical abuse.
He was a minor student, but colonial Pakistani state feels threatened by such conscious and critical students. As the colonial states existence are rooted in lies and they shackle by truth. The same factor applies in colonised Balochistan. Numerous student activists who are aware and conscious are targeted, same happened in Khuzdar, where students were targeted to suppress Baloch students politics. The colonial Pakistani state launched various extremists groups to counter the Baloch national struggle, as the state cannot do itself.
The young cadre of the organisation, Waheed Baloch was targeted and killed in these brutal atrocities. In his young age, he sacrificed his live for the motherland which will be remembered till the last Baloch living in Balochistan. BSO Azad pays glorious tribute to the young fallen comrade. His legacy and sacrifice will lead us towards the destruction of colonialism and complete liberation of Balochistan.
