Balochistan: We live in a world where powerful countries suppress weaker nations and occupy their countries and make the inhabitants their slaves using different means and ways of slavery. Those powerful countries’ secret services have always played an important role in keeping other smaller nation as slaves. When baloch struggle for independence intensified in early 2000 this didn’t please the agencies (ISI, MI) of the so called Islamic republic of Pakistan. From 2000-2008 they have abducted almost 8000 innocent Baloch youth including women from all spheres of life. Iqbal Baloch who hails from Mand Balochistan has also become prey of the Pakistani agencies. 27 years old Iqbal Baloch is a BA student and used to work in a PCO (Public Call Office) in his free time.
On 14th August 2007, my brother Iqbal Baloch set off from home with some of his friend for a picnic to famous picnic point between Thump and Mand area called “Ziarat Kalig”. He has never returned home since 14th August 2007. Those days Pakistani occupying force were carrying out a military offensive in that Kalig and surrounding area against innocent Baloch people. The Pakistani army had arrested seventeen innocent Baloch in that operation and my brother Iqbal Baloch and three of his friends were also among them. As I have mentioned earlier that the Pakistani terrorist forces have arrested seventeen Baloch altogether. On 16th February 2008, the three friends of my brother have been released after sever torture and humiliation but my brother Iqbal Baloch is still missing.
We have no news of his whereabouts. We also don’t know whether he is still alive or he has been killed by these savage agencies of Pakistan. We have set on token hunger strike in front of press clubs with other Baloch families who’s loved one were missing. We have recorded our protest in all democratic and peaceful means but nothing happened in other word “all in vain”. Even though we have ended our protests after a provincial minister has assured us that my brother Iqbal Baloch and other families’ loved ones will be released or produced to a court within six days, but nothing happened afterward. It seems the provincial minister has power infect the whole Balochistan cabinet is helpless before these notorious agencies (ISI and MI).
My brother Iqbal Baloch and other thousands of Baloch are in the custody of Pakistani agencies, who have been in control of this unnatural state of Pakistan from last 62 years. Today Baloch mothers, sister, and other relatives are forced to go out in streets to protest against the illegal abduction of their sons, brothers, husbands and fathers. After my brother’s forced-disappearance my aged mother’s health is deteriorating day by day. She lost her eye sight due to everyday crying for her son. I and my parants are still waiting for Iqbal Baloch to returen home. We don’t know whether he has been killed nor is he still alive? My brother and other thousands of Baloch youths' only fault is that they are Baloch and they were born in Balochistan.
I on behalf of all Baloch families appeal to the international community, UN, US, UK and the EU to take notice of the atrocities of Pakistani army and agencies in Balochistan. Please help us put a stop on forced-disappearance in Balochistan.
Where is Kabeer Baloch and Attaullah Baloch ; Families
The family members of Kabeer Baloch and Attaullah Baloch, who were abducted on 27 March 2009, have appealed to the chief justice of Pakistan to take “Sue Moto” action to make sure the return of their loved ones. They said that there dear ones are missing and we don’t know about their whereabouts. We do not even know whether they are still alive or they have been killed in custody like many other Baloch youth.
said that chief justice should take action on such inhumane acts of the intelligence agencies of Pakistan. Talking to media they stated that state brutalities are at peak, no one is sage any longer from these state mercenaries. Government is continuing the massacre of Baloch people. Security forces and secret services agencies are violating the law. Innocent youth are being arrested extra-judicially on daily bases. They are kept in state sponsored dungeons and they are subjected to severe torture. Their lives are in danger but the courts seem to be helpless before these notorious agencies i.e. ISI and MI.
Baloch people have lost faith on the Pakistani justice system and they are now openly demanding for Independence. When the entire department are helpless and have no power to stop the brutal state sponsored agencies then people chose their own ways to protect themselves.
Our father should be released on humanitarian grounds: Sher Baz Bugti
Quetta: Sherbaz Bugti, Safaraz Bugti and Mumtaz Bugti have said in a joint press release that their father Noor Mohammad Bugti has been abducted the agencies (ISI) from his office in 2008. He has not returned home since his sudden abduction. We do not know where is he kept and whether he is alive or not? They said we are worried because of his absence. Our father was government employer; he has no affiliation with any political party or any organisation. We wait for him day and night hoping that some day he will return home give us his loves and kindness. He is being punished for crimes he did not commit. Being a Baloch or a Bugti is not a crime.
They said we appeal to higher courts that if there are any cases against our father then he should be produced to the court of law and he should have right to a public trail. In the end they appealed once again that their father should be released on humanitarian grounds.
