The chairman of Nations without States, Graham Williamson stated that Balochistan was once a sovereign nation but Pakistan occupied it in 1948. "The British in the process of decolonisation of the region have run away and did not honour its agreements with Balochistan to help in time of trouble. Even Britain has allowed Scotland access to a referendum but never did the same with Balochistan. He said if there was a war between Pakistan and India, Pakistan could collapse and Baloch would be gain their freedom and same is the case with Iran." The Baloch must be prepared for such situations and must organise themselves. He emphasised that unity was the key to success.

A representative of Arab Front for The liberation of AL Ahwaz, Taher Karim, stated: "We and Baloch including other minorities have suffered enough at hands of criminal state Iran. He congratulated the Baloch people on the day of their freedom and FBM activists for organising a successful gathering in London. Balochistan was an independent country for a year and then Pakistan forcibly and illegally occupied it."
