Nawab Khair Bakhsh Marri conveys best wishes to North American activists

Legendary Baloch leader and Baba-i-Azadi founder of the liberation movement, Nawab Khair Bakhsh Marri, has conveyed his best wishes to the Baloch pro-independence workers in North America.

The message was conveyed through an intermediary, who is himself a prominent activist.

Nawab Marri has been the main face of the Baloch resistance for nearly four decades and it is his vision and steadfastness that has kept the Baloch struggle alive. His son, Mir Bala’ach Marri, 41, gave his life for Balochistan as he struggled to get the birth rights of the Baloch people.
A second son Mir Hyrbyair Marri is considered a Baloch national hero, along with Nawab Brahumdagh Bugti and Dr. Allah Nazar Baloch.

It is a matter of great pride for American Friends of Balochistan and fraternal Baloch Human Rights Council of Canada to get this message from Nawab Marri.
