Ever since it joined Pakistan in 1948, the southwestern region of Balochistan has sought to become an independent state. Nationalist factions in the area view the 1948 accession as an unlawful military takeover rather than a legitimate union.

Furthermore, Baloch activists report that they are frequently subjected to harsh human rights violations at the hands of Pakistani officials.
