Baloch Society Of North America (BSO_NA) Baloch Society Of North America (BSO_NA) is Non-Profit Organization, working to unite and Organize
all Baloch in North America, to expose the Occupation of our land (Balochistan) and exploitations of
our resources by Pakistani and Iranian Governments, and to bring their Human Rights Violations in
Balochistan into the world’s Notice.
Mustikhan informed Sauerbrey the Baloch were a secular people living on the strategic northern skirt of the straits
of Hormuz, but Teheran and Islamabad were trying to thrust their fundamentalist brand of Islam on them in their
state interests. Mustikhan said the Baloch, just like the Kurds, were victims of the wrong demarcation of
international borders by the British. The U.S. assistant secretary said she knew about Balochistan.
She assured Mustikhan her office area of work includes helping stateless people. The U.S. has a billion dollar
budget to help global refugees and last year 41,500 people from 67 countries got refuge in the United
States.
In a letter that Mustikhan personally handed to Sauerbrey, he said: "Let me convey you the greetings of spring, the
season of sunshine and blossoming flowers. Unfortunately, the dark deadly and wintry night that has spanned
nearly six decades for my Baloch people, numbering more than 15 million, is yet to be over."
His letter further said, "While public hanging of Baloch political dissidents in Iran is common knowledge,
thousands have been killed, maimed or simply made to disappear in the face of an army operation in Pakistan."
Mustikhan asked Sauerbrey, "In view of the appalling human rights situation in both Iranian and Pakistani
occupied Balochistan, I urge you take steps to make it easier for the Baloch refugees to find safety and live their
lives in the freedoms of the United States."
