Speakers expressed their solidarity with families affected by the inhuman actions of the Pakistani army in Sindh and Balochistan. They condemn the on going Pakistani state terrorism in Balochistan since its illegal forcible annexation and requested the US for immediate intervention in order to save the Baloch from the systematic genocide.  They demanded immediate stoppage of every kind of aid to Pakistan from the US and its allies as it is being used to crush the Baloch and Sindhi national resistance against subjugation and exploitation.
