Quetta: The mother of Chakar Qambarani has threatened to sit on hunger strike till death if her son is not released within five days. Chakar Qambarani Baloch was abducted by the Pakistani intelligence agencies on 6 February 2009 and has been missing ever since. His family member, party colleagues and well-wishers have already started a token hunger strike earlier this month, today is the 17th day of their hunger strike. The hunger strike participants appealed to the international Human Rights Organisation, the EU and the UN to take notice of the Pakistani atrocities against the Baloch nation.
“The international community must put pressure on Pakistan to make sure the safe release of the missing Baluch because we fear that the missing Baluch might suffer the same fate as the martyred of Murghab (Turbat town in Balochistan). I want to remind those who call themselves the champions of human right but they are silent on the death and destruction of Baloch Nation.” said one participant of the strike.
Meanwhile Chakar Qambarani Baloch’s mother today came in public and addressed the newsmen at Quetta press club. She said that her son Chakar Qambarani Baloch and Dr Bashir Azeem Baloch were whisked away by the personal of Pakistani intelligence agencies on 6 February 2009. After one and a half month’s illegal imprisonment Dr Bashir Azeem was released but her son (Chakar) was still missing. She warned that if her son was not released within five days, she along with the sister and little daughter of Chakar Qambarani Baloch will sit on hunger strike till death. She said if anything happened to them during the hunger strike, the provincial governemnt of Balochistan and Pakistan’s federal government should be held responsible for that.
She said “we have tried all democratic ways and means of protests i.e. we took to streets, we informed the governor of Balochistan, we submitted appeals to Balochistan high court but nothing seems to work. Only those people can understand my pain and suffering whose loved ones are also missing. I appeal to all those mothers, sister and daughter whose loved ones have been separated from them, come and help me and together we can raise voice and make it possible for our sons and relatives to come back home safe”.
She said that her son did not commit any crimes and she did not know why he was still being held and possibly severely tortured. She appealed to the international Human Rights Bodies to take notice of the abduction of innocent Baloch by Pakistani intelligence agencies. She however questions those so called Baloch who are a working for Pakistan government that what if their loved one were missing? Don’t they love their children? Aren't they human being and don’t they have any feeling? She said today these Baloch are only excited for a seat or a post but they are forgetting that they will be answerable to their motherland someday.
She said the governor of Balochistan has told them that her son was in the custody of intelligence agencies but the intelligence agencies denied this in court. However it is obvious now that her son was in the custody of intelligence agencies of Pakistan because Shahzeb Baloch of BSO – Azaad who was released on 17 Jun from Loralia said that Chakar Qambari Baloch and other Baloch youth were with him in Army barracks in that place, where he was held in past several months.
