dead mutilated bodies have been found. “dumped on desolate mountains or
empty city roads, bearing the scars of great cruelty. Arms and legs are
snapped; faces are bruised and swollen. Flesh is sliced with knives or

cases the bodies are unrecognisable, sprinkled with lime or chewed by
wild animals. All have a gunshot wound in the head.” – Declan Walsh

Hassan spoke about the humiliating attitude of government
officials towards a Baloch man he was working with. “It was clear to me
why the Baloch man hated the Pakistani state and military – as there was
only so much ritual humiliation that a human being could put up with,”
he said. human being could put up with,” he said. Karachi:
Amidst a gathering at Karachi’s The Second Floor (T2F) on Friday, Ali
Dayan Hassan, the Pakistan Director for Human Rights Watch, described
Balochistan as a province which was on the verge of an ethnic meltdown.
Hassan dwelled upon issues which plagued Balochistan, reasons that
have fueled human rights abuse in the province and its potential
solutions. There was never a phase of stable relationship between the
state and Balochistan, said Hassan, but the killing of Nawab Akber Bugti
in 2006 sparked a new wave of violence. It was around that time that
Hassan, under the wing of the Human Rights Watch, undertook the mission
of documenting human rights violations in the region.
Narrating his personal experience in
Sui, Dera Bugti, where he was working with locals, Hassan spoke about
the humiliating attitude of government officials towards a Baloch man he
was working with. “It was clear to me why the Baloch man hated the
Pakistani state and military – as there was only so much ritual
humiliation that a human being could put up with,” he said.
One of the biggest problems of working in the province, according to
Hassan, was the constant interference of intelligence agencies, which
escalated the risk for the sources. The inconsistent numbers for missing
people further added to the problem. While Baloch nationalists claimed
that approximately 6,000-10,000 people had gone missing, Interior
Minister Rehman Malik stated that 1,100 people were missing in 2008.
Strangely, the number quoted by Malik now has been reduced to 45.
Hassan admits that a handful of people have been returned due to the
Supreme Court’s pressure, but there has always been the understanding
that returned people are under constant threat. The whole idea that the
judicial system is doing something meaningful to bring about a change in
Balochistan is a sham, said Hassan. Unless military or intelligence
officials are held accountable for the disappearances or targeted
killing, these abuses cannot end, he added.
Explaining the provincial dynamics of Balochistan, Hassan stated that
the conflict in Balochistan was not merely limited to one between the
state and the Baloch people like it was three years ago. The Baloch
people have now started targeting non-Baloch settlers, especially
education personnel. Furthermore, the Taliban have begun targeting
minorities like the Hazara in alliance with the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi.
“Everyone lives in a perpetual state of fear, regardless of
ethnicity. People in these situations become trigger happy, and when
they hold a gun, they use it,” said Hassan.
Speaking about his testimony for a US Congressional hearing in
February that demanded right to self-determination for Baloch people, he
said that it was necessary to lobby international attention towards the
province’s issue. Once the US got involved, everyone started talking
about Balochistan suddenly, which was quite welcome.
Criticising the media, Hassan said the coverage of Balochistan had
been “lazy, unethical and incompetent”. He cited the brutal murder of
Akber Bugti’s granddaughter in Karachi earlier in the year, and the
minimal media attention it received as an example of the media’s
negligence towards certain issues
He said that the only way of solving the Balochistan crisis was to
get sparring parties to agree to a ceasefire. He emphasised that the
stakeholders of the province’s conflict did not include the government,
but it was a battle between the military and Baloch nationalists. The
need for collective pressure on the army and intelligence officials to
stop killing, torturing and disappearing Baloch people as a
confidence-building measure has never been more urgent, he added.
Left: Abdul Qadir Baloch, Voice for Baloch Missing Persons Vice President and R: Nasrullah Baloch, President
Quetta: The Vice chairman of Voice for Baloch Missing Persons has
been warned to wrap up the protest camp, outside Quetta Press Club, or
else he will be physically eliminated.
The Pakistan military and intelligence agencies have threatened the
Voice for Baloch Missing Persons, an organisation striving for the safe
recovery of enforced-disappeared Baloch, several times in the past. Many
members of the VBMP were abducted and later killed in custody. After
the visit of UN WGEID the intelligence agencies of Pakistan have once
again intensified pressure against the Voice for Baloch Missing Persons.
Talking to Balochwarna News Qadeer Baloch, Vice chairman of VBMP said,
“We have been receiving direct and indirect threats almost every day
since the UN team visited Balochistan. Our protest camp was also once
set alight and female members of our Organisation were threatened to
stop demanding the release of their loved ones or they’ll face the wrath
of security forces.”
He further said none other then the Pakistan army and intelligence
agencies should be held responsible if any harm is done to him or other
members of his organisation. The VBMP has already informed the Supreme
Court of Pakistan, Balochistan High Court and written letters to UN
informing them about the death threats.
Qadeer Baloch said that target killings, abductions and in-custody
killings are still continuing, recently several Baloch have been target
killed by Army’s proxy organisation in Khuzdar town of Balochistan.
“Even though some of our members and families of Baloch missing persons
have appeared before the Supreme Court but we do not expect any justice
from Pakistani judiciary. Our loved ones have sacrificed their lives for
the independence of Balochistan whereas the Supreme Court is more
worried about Pakistan’s safety and law and order situation. I think it
is a waste of time for any Baloch to expect justice from a Pakistani
courts”, said Qadeer Baloch.

mutilated body was discovered on November 13, 2011 in the District Kech,

to the Pakistani Media: The gun battles, ambushes, and tactics used by
the establishment of Pakistan are becoming more sophisticated.
