Hameed Baloch (Urdu: حمید بلوچ) was a Baloch student and member of the Baloch Students Organization (BSO). He was arrested on 9 December 1979, while he was a student at Government Degree College Turbat, on charges of firing at the military officer from the Gulf state of Oman. The Omani military officer was recruiting Pakistani Baloch soldiers from Balochistan province to suppress the Dhofar Rebellion. Oman at the time was facing a Marxist–Leninist insurgency in its Dhofar province. Ever since Oman took control of the Balochistan enclave of Gwadar in the 18th Century (now part of Pakistan), it had hired foot soldiers from Balochistan to serve in the Sultan of Oman's Armed Forces.
