Members of the Chaman protest movement have announced that if the Pakistani government does not fulfill its promises, they will stage widespread protests.

Members of this movement have stated that the Pakistani government promised them that they could travel through the Spin Boldak - Chaman crossing with identification cards.

Several members of the Chaman protest movement held talks with the provincial government officials of Balochistan on July 21. Following these talks, in addition to the release of several imprisoned members of this movement, they were assured that they could travel through the Spin Boldak - Chaman crossing with identification cards as before, and they ended their protest.

One day after the Pakistani government’s promise, the Spin Boldak - Chaman crossing was again closed, and no one was allowed to travel without a passport and visa.

"When we sat in negotiations, our first demand was to travel with an ID card, and they agreed. Now, it should be like that," said Faiz Mohammad Pashtun, a member of the Chaman protest movement.

The leaders of this movement have also stated that Pakistani officials had promised them that they would be allowed to travel with ID cards, but they did not keep their promise.

"Today, we clearly tell the people that it is our responsibility to open the border, and if we do not open the border, people will stand with us wherever we hold sit-ins and gatherings," said Ghawsullah, the leader of the Chaman protest movement.

"We tell the people to wait for us for five or ten days, and if we sit at home and make excuses and do not resume the sit-ins, then give us any punishment you want," said Sadiq Khan, the spokesperson of this movement.

The Chaman protest movement began about ten months ago after visas and passports were made mandatory at the Spin Boldak - Chaman crossing, continuing until July 21 this year. It is said that significant financial losses have been incurred by residents on both sides. According to reports, about 20,000 local workers have become unemployed due to the restrictions at the Spin Boldak – Chaman crossing.
