WASHINGTON, DC: Pro-independence Baloch from the USA and Canada and their allies and friends will converge in the U.S. capital on May 28 to protest against Pakistan's nuclear tests in Occupied Balochistan in front of the White House.

"I appeal to all peace-loving American folks to make the protest a stunning success," Laurie Deamer, presiding council member of the American Friends of Balochistan from Philadelphia said in a statement. "Balochistan's enslavement is not acceptable to the world," she said. "I hope the U.S. government would withdraw its support from Pakistan. It is regrettable that U.S. government was the first to test nuclear weapons and it continues to aid Pakistan in spite of its dangerous nuclear weapons ambitions."

According to the A.F.B. all nuclear weapons must be abolished, but the pro-independence organization believes Pakistan's nuclear weapons are all the more dangerous because these were the first nuclear tests where religion was invoked. Pakistani generals and then premier Nawaz Sharif raised the slogan Allah o Akbar, at the time of the tests in Chagai, Occupied Balochistan. In other words, the slogan literally means Muslims would defeat the infidels through a nuclear war.
