Balochistan observes shutter-down strike on the call of the Baloch National Front.

 

Strike was observed against the forced disappearances, offensive of forces and extra judiciary murder of Haji Abdul Razzaq Baloch and other Baloch Activist.

BALOCHISTAN:  A complete shutter-down and wheel jammed  strike on Saturday  was  observed in different parts of Balochistan on the call of the Baloch National Front (BNF) against the forced disappearances , offensive of forces and extra judiciary murder of Haji Abdul Razzaq Baloch and other Baloch activists .

Shops and business centers were closed in various parts of Balochistan. Khuzddar, Kallat, Kharan, Panjgoor , Mastong, Pasni, Turbat, Noshki, Tump, Mand, Awaran, Mashkey, Gwadar and overall  Baloch dominated areas of Balochistan.

BNF expressed thanked to transporters, shopkeepers on the accomplishment of successful strike to show their abhorrence against atrocities of occupant state of Pakistan. BNF further said forced disappearances; extra judiciary murder of activists and dumping their mutilated bodies can never put down the spirit of national freedom amongst Baloch nation.  BNF appealed to the international human rights organizations to play immediate role to stop the ongoing genocide and human rights abuses against Baloch nation.

Human rights violations in Balochistan: BNF letter to UN.

Your Excellency
Mr. Ban Ki-moon
Secretary General
United Nations
Subject: Human rights violations in Balochistan

Dear Sir,

The Baloch National Front (BNF), an alliance of Baloch nationalist parties, would like to draw Your Excellency’s attention towards your recent visit to Pakistan which caused heartbreaks among the Baloch people.

Your Excellency, in a speech delivered on August 30 in Switzerland, had said:

“We must ensure that anyone, on any side, who commits war crimes, crimes against humanity or other violations of international human rights or humanitarian law is brought to justice. This is a shared responsibility for this Council, for United Nations Member States, for the international community as a whole. We must use all our many tools to shine the light of human rights everywhere.”

When Your Excellency was in Islamabad on August 13, relatives of hundreds of Baloch missing persons were protesting outside press clubs in Quetta, Karachi and Turbat cities. As we presume that Your Excellency is aware of the missing persons’ phenomenon in Balochistan, we will not indulge into its details. In short, human rights groups have confirmed that thousands of political activists, writers and common Baloch have been abducted by Pakistan’s security forces whose whereabouts are unknown to their families and rest of the world.

Pakistan’s top judge has said they have evidence of Pakistan’s paramilitary troops’ involvement in these abductions. According to Human Rights Watch, tortured bodies of 300 of these missing persons have been found dumped in deserted parts of Balochistan and Karachi. International media calls this kill-and-dump phenomenon Pakistan’s ‘dirty war’.

The BNF and the relatives of missing persons were hoping that Your Excellency will use the influence of his office during his visit to press Pakistani government to stop this ‘dirty war’ against the Baloch people, who are struggling for their right of national independence – a right that is enshrined in the United Nations’ Charter.

However, Your Excellency didn’t say a single word about the issue of Baloch missing persons. A single sentence from Your Excellency’s mouth could have saved several innocent lives, who are in the custody of Pakistan’s security forces. At least, that’s what the relatives of missing persons believe.

We understand that the purpose Your Excellency’s visit was to witness Pakistan’s independence day flag hoisting ceremony on August 14. However, it might not be in Your Excellency’s knowledge that on the same day, on August 14, Pakistan’s security forces raided a house in Turbat city and killed two Baloch youngsters — Reza Jehangir, the Secretary General of the Baloch Students Organization; and Imdad Baloch, a senior member of the Baloch National Movement.

When Your Excellency was attending Pakistan’s Independence Day celebrations, hundreds of Baloch women were protesting in Balochistan’s Turbat city to observe August 14 as a black day. Pakistan’s paramilitary troops fired tear-gas shells and baton-charged the protesters to disperse their rally.

In the night between August 14 and 15, Pakistani forces set on fire a hunger strike camp set up by the relatives of Baloch missing persons outside the Quetta Press Club.

Just two days ago a prominent Baloch journalist and the leader of BNM Haji Razzaq was brutally murdered. He was abducted by security forces 4 months ago.

We don’t know if you should have attended the independence day ceremony of a state that is blamed by human rights groups of mass murdering people living there, but we did see your visit as an opportunity to highlight the issue of human rights abuses in Balochistan. Being the custodian of the UN and the guardian of international laws and instruments, we hope that Your Excellency will play his role in putting an end to human rights violations in Balochistan.

At the end, we want to apologize for some candid remarks we made in this letter, but Your Excellency should know that we, the Baloch people, are really in a messed-up situation.

Thanking

Yours Truly

Dr. Mannan Baloch
Secretary: Baloch National Front

70 bodies had been found during the tenure of the incumbent government: Nasrullah Baloch

BALOCHISTAN: Voice for Baloch Missing Persons Chairman Nasrullah Baloch said that around 70 bodies had been found from different areas of Balochistan during the tenure of the incumbent government.

Addressing a press conference along with VBMP Vice Chairman Mama Qadeer Baloch at a hunger strike camp outside the Quetta Press Club for the recovery of Baloch missing persons, he said that 26 missing persons’ bodies had been found from different areas of Karachi.

He claimed that missing persons were being killed in fake operations in Bolan,Espalinji and other areas. “We will admit the government’s seriousness [on the issue] after [seeing] their practical steps against the officers who were involved in the kidnapping of Baloch political activists.”

He said his organisation had also provided evidence in the Supreme Court in this regard, and the apex court had passed orders, but no step were taken by the government for the arrest of those involved in enforced disappearances of Baloch missing persons. He urged the United Nation and other international organisations to take notice of human rights violations in Balochistan.

Pakistan should immediately investigate the murder of a Baluch journalist: CPJ

“Haji Abdul Razzaq Baloch’s disappearance and death is another grim reminder of the precarious conditions Baluch journalists face in Pakistan.” – said CPJ’s Asia program coordinator, Bob Dietz.

  

New York, August 22, 2013– Authorities in Pakistan should immediately investigate the murder of a Baluch journalist whose body was found in Karachi on Wednesday, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today. Haji Abdul Razzaq Baloch had been missing since March, according to news reports.

Razzaq’s face was mutilated, and his body showed signs of strangulation and torture, according to Agence France-Presse. Razzaq’s family initially denied that the body was that of the journalist, but then later confirmed his identity, reports said.

The journalist’s body was found in the Surjani Town area alongside that of another man from Baluchistan, according to news reports. Unnamed police sources said they found paper slips with the names of both victims along with the bodies, news reports said. At least 16 bodies of Baluch individuals have been found in the Surjani Town area of Karachi in the past six months, according to news reports.

Razzaq, 35, worked as a copy editor for the news desk of the Urdu-language pro-Baluch nationalist newspaper Daily Tawar. He was last seen leaving his friend’s house in the Liyari neighborhood of Karachi on March 24, according to newsreports.

Daily Tawar is known for its coverage of the many conflicts between rival groups and the government. Razzaq was also a supporter of the Baluch National Movement, a nationalist political organization.

Razzaq, who had worked for the Daily Tawar since 2009, briefly left the newspaper after another Daily Tawar journalist was found dead after being reported missing, according to Razzaq’s friend, who spoke to CPJ by email.Javed Naseer Rind was found in November 2011 with multiple bullet wounds in his head and chest, and his body showed signs of torture, news reports said. Rind had been missing for two months.

Razzaq resumed his work at the paper in December 2012.

“Authorities must do everything in their power to thoroughly investigate the motive behind this death and bring the perpetrators to justice to help end this deadly cycle of impunity,” said CPJ’s Asia program coordinator, Bob Dietz. “Haji Abdul Razzaq Baloch’s disappearance and death is another grim reminder of the precarious conditions Baluch journalists face in Pakistan.”

In a press conference at the Karachi Press Club following the journalist’s disappearance in March, Razzaq’s family members accused Pakistani intelligence agencies of being responsible for the abduction, but did not elaborate. CPJ research shows that Pakistan’s intelligence agencies are suspected in a number of disappearances, including the 2011 abduction and murder of Saleem Shahzad.

Journalists from Baluchistan face pressure from a number of sources: pro-Taliban groups and Pakistani security forces and intelligence agencies, as well as Baluch separatists and state-sponsored anti-separatist militant groups.

In May, CPJ published a report, “Roots of Impunity: Pakistan’s Endangered Press and the Perilous Web of Militancy, Security, and Politics,” which found that Pakistani journalists are targeted not only by militants, criminals, and warlords, but also by political, military, and intelligence operatives. Pakistan is ranked one of the deadliest in the world for the press, according to CPJ research.

Pakistan nailed, Hafiz Saeed aide and LeT bomber Tunda arrested.

New Delhi: The arrest of Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorist Abdul Karim alias Tunda has come as a major boost to the Indian security agencies not only because he was wanted in more than 40 bombings across North India, but also because his arrest has exposed Pakistan's lies on terrorism. The Delhi Police said that Tunda was carrying a Pakistani passport at the time of arrest near the Indo-Nepal border.

Special Commissioner of Delhi Police (Special Cell) SN Shrivastava said Tunda was carrying a Pakistani passport No AC 4413161 issued on January 23, 2013 in the name of Abdul Quddus. Tunda, who was part of India's most wanted list of terrorists handed over to Pakistan, was in contact with LeT chief Hafiz Saeed who had masterminded the deadly November 2008 carnage in Mumbai.

Police said that Tunda is known as the bomb expert in the Laskhar-e-Toiba circle and played a major role in 1993 Bombay serial blasts, Delhi bomb blasts of 1997-98 and serial bombings in the state of UP and also at Panipat, Sonepat, Ludhiana, Hyderabad etc.

Police said Tunda had trained indoctrinated youngsters in preparing bombs with locally available materials like urea, nitric acid, potassium chloride, nitrobenzene and sugar, and planting them at crowded places to cause maximum casualties.

Meanwhile, there were conflicting reports over the circumstances in which Tunda was arrested, with one police source claiming that he was deported from a Gulf country while another source said that Tunda left Karachi around 10 days ago and reached Kathmandu via Dubai. Intelligence agencies were tracking him from Dubai and gave a tip-off to the Special Cell of Delhi Police, which finally nabbed him on Friday from the Indo-Nepal border.

Describing Tunda, against whom an Interpol Red Corner notice was issued in 1996, the security agencies say he would be able to throw some light on Lashkar-e-Toiba's operations in India.

The first breakthrough on Tunda came with the arrest in February 1998 of Tunda's two Bangladeshi 'students', Mato-ur Rehman and Akbar alias Haroon, from Sadar Bazar railway station, New Delhi, police said.

The Delhi Police later arrested 24 other members of the module, including Tunda's confidants, Kamran and Shakeel. There was temporary slowdown in the hunt for Tunda following reports that he was killed in a blast in Bangladesh in 2000.

Before becoming a terrorist, Tunda had worked as a carpenter, scrap dealer and cloth merchant. His younger brother Abdul Malik (a carpenter) is reportedly the only immediate family member alive in India.

Meanwhile, the Home Ministry has complimented the Delhi Police and central intelligence agencies for arresting Abdul Karim Tunda. "Great work by Delhi police and central intelligence agencies for the coordinated effort in arresting Tunda, one of India's most wanted terrorists," Minister of State for Home RPN Singh posted on Twitter.

Seminar on "IB on the Brink?" Politicizing Terror : A disaster in the making

The Rohngiyas and the Buddhists have riots in Myanmar. Where does the terror backlash come? Not in monasteries of Myanmar ... the terror attack comes in India Bodhgaya, Bihar Why?

Because the state in India has successfully commenced the destruction and demoralization of its counter terror agencies- starting with the core organization of the IB. By politicizing terror we have created the most permissive and enabling environment for terrorists to operate. Ashley Tellis said, "India has become a sponge for absorbing terrorism casualties on behalf of the West."

Spokesperson of Baloch Student’s Organization (Azaad) in a statement said that today, on 14th of August, Pakistan army assaulted the home of Baloch National Movement’s Kech Zone’s organizer Imdad Baloch and martyred the Secretary General of BSO (Azaad) Raza Jahangir and BNM’s leader Imdad Baloch. The statement further said that the brutality and savagery of Pakistan army has intensified, and by murdering Baloch political leaders and activists, Pakistan is unsuccessfully trying to continue its colonization of Balochistan. The spokesperson said that on 13th of August, a peaceful protest rally organized in Turbat by Baloch National Front to highlight the plight of Baloch people after United Nations’ Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon’s arrival in Pakistan was fired upon and baton-charged by Pakistan army and tried to kidnap political workers from the protest. Following that incident, Pakistan Army sieged the house of Imdad Baloch and murdered BSO (Azaad)’s Secretary General and BNM’s Leader Imdad Baloch and abducted Imdad Balochs elderly father, who had been injured by the shelling, bombardment and firing on the house. 
The spokesperson said that Central Secretory General of BSO (Azaad), Raza Jahangir, was organization’s experienced leader, who faced every difficult situation with valor and proved his true association with the Baloch movement and a displayed a firm understanding of his national responsibilities. By doing so, Raza Jahangir, made an important contribution towards making the organization more active and efficient. The Secretary General, till his last moments, kept on playing a crucial role of mobilizing the activists as an experience political leader and kept of spreading the word of the Baloch movement all across of Balochistan; Raza Jahangir’s passion for an independent Balochistan and his hard work and commitment to achieve it made him a role model for the youth to follow. Raza Jahangir joined BSO (Azaad) at a very young age, and since that day he gave his best to the movement and the organization, he previously held the position of a member of the Central Committee and became the Central Secretary General of BSO (Azaad) in the July, 2012, 19th central council session.
BSO (Azaad) pays tribute to the organization’s great intellectual friend and leader Raza Jahangir and pays red salute to his struggle for the Baloch nation. His historical role in the Baloch movement is a pathway to follow for both BSO (Azaad) and the Baloch movement.
A central policy in the reaction of this incident would soon be announced. All zones are advised to strongly protest against the incident.

Balochistan – Pakistans hemmelige krig.

Konfliktområde: Quetta er hovedstaden i provinsen Balochistan i Pakistan. Regjeringens uforsonlige politikk i møtet med provinsen ønske om mer selvstyre har medført alvorlige brudd på menneskerettighetene. 

Situasjonen i Pakistans største provins Balochistan er prekær. Pakistans regjering har vært i konflikt med provinsen siden dens opprettelse og har slått ned på sine motstandere der på nådeløst og brutalt vis. På grunn av regjeringens kompromissløshet har flere tusen uskyldige menn, kvinner og barn mistet livet.

Balochistan har vært gjennom fire opprør, og er i skrivende stund i sitt femte i kampen om likeverd, utvidede rettigheter og tilgang til lokale naturressurser. Pakistans tidligere president Pervez Musharraf initierte dagens opprør med å drepe Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti i 2005. Bugti var en respektert stammeleder, som også fungerte som guvernør fra 1973 til 1974 og «chief minister» fra 1989 til 1990 i Balochistan. Siden da har konflikten eskalert ytterligere. Musharraf adopterte tidlig strategien til sin tidligere diktatorkollega, Augusto Pinochet: Mange balochere (det opereres med tall fra 800 til flere tusen) ble plukket opp av sikkerhetstjenestene ISI og MI i samarbeid med den beryktede paramilitære organisasjonen FC (Frontier Corps), for så å bli sporløst borte – en praksis som i stor grad fortsatt er i bruk i dag.

Politiet samarbeider ikke
Ofrenes familier har forgjeves forsøkt å komme i kontakt med sine kjære. De har blant annet gjennomført en sultestreik med ett års varighet uten resultat. Det har også blitt opprettet en organisasjon –  Voice for Baloch Missing Persons (VFBMP) – som er en felles front for familiene til bortførte personer. VFBMP er også representert på internasjonalt nivå (henviser til http://www.bygwaah.com/). Organisasjonen har kompilert lister over bortførte personer, og er blitt presentert for pakistanske myndigheter, uten at dette har ført til noe. Selv etter press fra domstolene har lokalt politi nektet å registrere anmeldelser mot sikkerhetstjenestene. Domstolene har til tross for utallige lovnader ikke vært i stand til å gjenfinne en eneste bortført person. De forsvunne er ifølge avisen Sri Lanka Guardian fremdeles savnet.

Bortfører ressurspersoner 
Siden juli 2010 har over 150 av de bortførte blitt funnet døde i avsidesliggende strøk. Likene har båret preg av grov tortur, blant annet utstukne øyne, avskårne ører/neser og drillmerker på kroppen. Likene har i noen tilfeller vært ugjenkjennelige, skriver The Guardian. Blant disse finnes også flere mindreårige. Liket til Majeed Ahmed Zehri, en 14 år gammel elev i åttende klasse og medlem av BSO – Azad (Baloch Students Organisation – Balochistans største student organisasjon), ble funnet i et øde område i Khuzdar 24. oktober 2010. Abid Baloch, elev i niende klasse fra Parom i Panjgur, ble bortført med makt 23. januar 2011 av pakistanske sikkerhetsstyrker, og funnet drept fire dager senere av en gjeter i Gwargo.

Flertallet av ofrene er journalister, leger, menneskerettighetsaktivister (blant annet Naeem Sabir, som jobbet for Human Rights Comission of Pakistan), advokater, studenter, poeter, lærere og andre med høy utdanning og bevissthet rundt sine rettigheter. Bare i løpet av den siste uken har likene etter syv personer dukket opp, deriblant Siddique Eido Baloch – journalist og menneskerettighetsaktivist i arbeid for Human Rights Commission of Pakistan.

Rapporterer ikke
Pakistan toppet i 2010 listen over land med verst arbeidsvilkår for journalister. Et dusin journalister ble drept, hvorav de fleste var fra Balochistan. Militæret, politiet og FC begår daglig grove menneskerettighetsbrudd, uten at det får konsekvenser, ifølge den pakistanske avisen Daily Times. I skrivende stund foregår flere militæraksjoner på forskjellige steder i Balochistan (blant annet i Pat-Feeder området i Nasirabad). Det er meldt om flere drepte – deriblant kvinner og barn – og plyndring i stor skala. Flere hus er jevnet med jorden, og buskap (livsgrunnlaget for fattige Balochere) har også blitt drept. Pakistanske medier rapporterer sjeldent om realitetene i Balochistan, også dette ifølge Daily Times. 

Ali Dayan Hassan, representant for Pakistan Human Rights Watch, ble i et intervju med den pakistanske avisen The News on Sunday stilt spørsmål om hvorvidt det er tilstrekkelig internasjonalt og nasjonalt fokus på menneskerettighetssituasjonen i Balochistan. Svaret hans lød: ”Dessverre er det ikke slik. Pakistanske medier rapporterer ikke om den brutale virkeligheten i Balochistan på en meningsfull måte. Til tross for at provinsen er av stor strategisk interesse for verden, lider dens mennesker av vedvarende, systematiske og utbredte brudd på menneskerettighetene utført av både statlige myndigheter og av ikke-statlige aktører. Det er på tide at pakistanere og verden viser oppmerksomhet til saken."

Myrder kritikere
Situasjonen i Balochistan har blitt såpass alvorlig at USA har vist bekymring og Amnesty International har publisert to artikler om Balochistan på kort tid med de talende titlene «Pakistan: Investigate murder and torture of Baloch activists» og «Pakistan: Balochistan atrocities continue to rise».

Den siste trenden er at personer som har vært med på å skape åpenhet rundt forsvinningene og belyst emnet, også har blitt offer for denne praksisen. Det gjelder blant annet menneskerettighetsaktivister som har samlet informasjon om bortførte personer, advokater som har representert berørte familier og nylig også dommere.

Norsk statsborger bortført 
Familien til den kidnappede norske statsborgeren Ehsan Arjomandi er meget bekymret over den alarmerende utviklingen. Sist Ehsan Arjomandi ble observert i live befant han seg i et fengsel i Malir i Sindh-provinsen. Siden har ikke familien hørt fra ham. Følgelig frykter familien det verste, og håpet svinner i takt med norske myndigheters passivitet i saken.

Dersom Iran og Pakistan opprettholder utleveringsavtalen for sine respektive balochiske minoriteter (Iran har en egen balochisk minoritet som holder til i Sistan-va-Balochistan provinsen, som grenser mot det pakistanske Balochistan), er det stor fare for at Ehsan kan havne i klørne på iranske myndigheter, der han går en sikker død i vente.  Den mest kjente iranske intervensjonen i Balochistan var under det tredje opprøret, der Iran i samarbeid med Pakistan systematisk slo ned på opprøret som varte i fire år (1973-1977).

Det har vært fire opprør tidligere, men dagens reaksjon fra Pakistan har overgått dem alle i brutalitet og omfang. Situasjonen i Balochistan er imidlertid ikke fastlåst. Det finnes banale tiltak, som den vestlige verdenen tar for gitt. Grunnleggende menneskerettigheter vil være en god start. Balochere blir behandlet som annenrangsborgere på sitt eget jord. Pakistan har tidligere motvillig erfart hva konsekvensene av en slik undertrykkelse kan være; opprettelse av dagens Bangladesh (tidligere Øst-Pakistan). I tråd med forandringene i Midtøsten, bør Pakistan tilstrebe en rasjonell tilnærming til konflikten for å unngå en fremtidig Vest-Pakistan (Balochistan).

The truth of threatening a Baloch journalist.

Baluchistan, where Journalists lack ownership and support from media organizations and confront number of hurdles. Currently Balochistan has become a battle field for journalist because on daily basis journalists receive death threats from different armed groups, professional criminals and secret agencies of the state; however, the responsible authorities and media organizations do not take theses issue serious, which results the murder of journalist or they give up their profession.
Journalistic activities in several districts of Baluchistan have been dormant due to the ongoing human rights violations, unfortunately, on national and international level; there is no enough awareness about this phenomenon. When the journalist report human rights violation, they are threatened or alleged for the works which they really do not do

By Altaf Baloch

 Baluchistan, where Journalists lack ownership and support from media organizations and  confront number of hurdles.  Currently Balochistan has become a battle field for journalist because on daily basis journalists receive death threats from different armed groups, professional criminals and secret agencies of the state; however, the responsible authorities and media organizations do not take theses issue serious, which results the murder of journalist or they give up their profession.

Journalistic activities in several districts of Baluchistan have been dormant due to the ongoing human rights violations, unfortunately, on national and international level; there is no enough awareness about this phenomenon. When the journalist report human rights violation, they are threatened or alleged for the works which they really do not do.

The situation still continues in Balochistan. One of the instances is writer’s own (Altaf Baloch), I report from Kech district Balochistan, one of the sensitive districts regarding law and order situation, where professional criminals, security forces and militant organizations are actively working to meet their tasks.

 Two months ago a videos was uploaded on facebook, in which someone interviewed a woman who had been sexually harassed in Kech. In response to the circulation of this video, unknown armed men on June 17th, 2013,  in Kor-e-Posht of Bit Buleda killed a Balochi language poet Mr. Gulzar Riaz. Mr. Gulzar Riaz was allegedly killed for uploading the above interview of women   on facebook.

On 7th July I received an unknown call saying that I had assisted in circulation of a SMS against torturing a woman and assisted in publishing her Interview on facebook. Then they threatened me to count my days of life. Since that I have been suffering from extreme apprehension and tension.  Now the regular death threats have forced me to whether give up my profession or be hidden somewhere. 

On the one hand the reporters and professional journalists confront problems due to professional criminals and state patronized groups on the other hand the Baluchistan tribal elements are also serious threats to journalism. The tribal elements that are mainly involved in politics, they do not tolerate freedom of expression.

We consider Government responsible for all circumstances in Balochistan because the government still has not been able to protect journalists. The failure of responsible authorities proves that now the international community should take notice for the safety of the journalists in restive province of Balochistan.
