He was an intellectual who never used social media to force his opinion on others. Faisal loved discussing and listening to opinions of all shades within the Baloch political struggle. He was committed to the idea of an independent Balochistan and strived to bring unity among the Baloch forces.
His political maturity and efforts for broader unity became a threat to the Pakistani occupiers of Baloch lands. They killed a Baloch rights activist on the day when the world was celebrating Human Rights. Faisal Mengal , a young Baloch intellectual and a social activist was chased and gunned down by the Pakistani security forces in broad daylight in Karachi on 10th Dec 2011.
