Hyrbyair Marri

The government of Pakistan alleges that Marri is the leader of the Balochistan Liberation Army, which is designated a terrorist organization by Pakistan, USA and the United Kingdom, but he was tried and acquitted of terrorism charges by a British court in 2009. The British government granted his request for political asylum in 2011.

Marri returned to Pakistan in 1992. His father was too old to start a new political struggle so his brother Balach Marri took his father's place. In 1996, Hyrbyair was elected to the Provincial Assembly of Balochistan and was appointed Education Minister of the province. In 2000, Balochistan Police arrested and charged his father with the murder of Balochistan High Court justice Nawaz Marri; Hyrbyair left Pakistan for Britain at this time.

Hyrbyair was born in Quetta as the fifth son of Khair Bakhsh Marri, the sardar of the Marri tribe. Hyrbyair's elder brothers are Changez Marri, Balach Marri, Ghazan Marri and Hamza Marri; his younger brother is Mehran Baluch. In 1980 he came to the United Kingdom with his family, before they moved to Afghanistan in 1981 during General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq's regime. He completed his early education in Pakistan and Kabul, Afghanistan and then moved to Russia for higher education.
