Two international representatives of Balochistan put Pakistan on the mat at the Oxford University on Thursday evening. Mehran Baluch and Noordin Mengal, along with Pakistan director of Human Rights Watch, Ali Dayan Hasan, explained the situation in Balochistan in the backdrop of Pakistan's secret dirty war there. He said after the forced merger of 1948, one would have at least expected what he called "velet glove" but said Pakistan army was continuing its genocidal policies with an iron fist in Balochistan. Mehran Baluch, who is the youngest and most loved son of Balochistan freedom icon Nawab Khair Bakhsh Marri and is Balochistan's unofficial representative at the U.N. Human Rights Council:
Thank you for giving me this opportunity to speak. Oxford University is the intellectual capital of the world. Nothing, neither King nor Country, have been sacred cows here at this most prestigious university on earth. What is the issue of Balochistan and what is the problem of Pakistan? These are the two questions I like to address today. Read the full text of Mehran Baluch:

Noordin Mengal, who is grandson of former chief minister Sardar Ataullah Mengal and Balochistan freedom icon Nawab Khair Bakhsh Marri, was speaking Thursday at the Oxford University Pakistan Society. Noordin Mengal cited the speech of the late Mir Ghous Bakhsh Bizenjo, who is considered to be one of the founding fathers of modern Baloch nationalism, in support of freedom of Balochistan in 1947 and said, "If Pakistan wants to treat us as a sovereign people, we are ready to extend the hand of friendship and cooperation. If Pakistan does not agree to do so, flying in the face of democratic principles, such an attitude will be totally unacceptable to us, and if we are forced to accept this fate then every Baloch son will sacrifice his life in defense of his national freedom.” He said Pakistan military high cpmmand and intelligence services form the core of the Pakistani establishment and they are repeating the same crimes in Balochistan they committed in Bangladesh in 1971
