28 May: Baloch Community London to protest against Pakistan’s nuclear tests

The Baloch Community London announced to organise a protest demonstration in front of British Parliament on 28 May 2013. The protest will coincide with the 15th anniversary of Pakistan’s nuclear blast in Balochistan on 28 May 1998.

The protest will be held outside British Parliament close to West Minister underground station from 4pm – 6pm. The organisers of the protest have appealed the Baloch activists and other human rights campaigners who are against nuclear arms race to join the protest.

They also appealed the British and other international media to help Baloch people raise their voice against Pakistan’s nuclear weapons in Balochistan.

It is pertinent to mention that on 28 May 1998 Pakistan conducted six nuclear tests in Balochistan. These nuclear tests were conducted in Raas Koh area of Chaghai district in Balochistan.

The explosions reportedly yielded 52 KT (kilotons) of radiotoxic nuclide. The tests impacts have been disastrous in terms of human costs; loss of livestock and environment. For instance, water has become contaminated and new born babies are affected with mysterious diseases. People in the region suffer from cancer, skin and eye complications.

This inhumane act carried out by Pakistani state in complete secrecy without the knowledge of Baluch people and political leadership.

The blasts were conducted during Nawaz Sharif’s era in 1998. This year also the protests in Balochistan and abroad are coinciding with Nawaz Sharif’s success in election.

The Baloch Community London appealed the Baloch Diaspora in other countries to organise protest demonstration and meeting to spread awareness about the effect of Pakistan’s nuclear test on Baloch people.

Baloch National Voice, Baloch Liberation Struggle, the Baloch Salvation Front and Baloch Student Organisation-Azad have also announced protests and meetings on 28 May in Balochistan. In their separate statement they urged the Baloch nation to observe this day as a “Day of Mourning” and organise public events to express their dislike for nuclear weapons.

Effects of Pakistan’s nuclear tests in Balochistan.

On May 28, 1998, Pakistan tested its nuclear capability in the hills of Chagai in northwest Balochistan. For many people in Pakistan, the day since has been of pride. They call it “Yaum-e-Takbeer,” or Allah’s greatness day, but for people in Balochistan, it is a day to mourn because of the problems they faced in the aftermath of the nuclear tests. Allah was not so great for Baloch people on that day.

The day became a looming nightmare that haunted Balochs in the years to come because of the problems they faced due to nuclear radiation from these tests.

In many parts of Balochistan, wealth is not measured in terms of money or personal belongings. People value the sheep and cattle they breed. For them, they are everything. They provide them sustenance and shelter. They are the ultimate source of livelihood. They make their tents, clothes, tapestry and different handicrafts from their wool. They also sell some of their work in the market. Sheep are also sold in the market, providing them with another source of income.

 

A large section of population in district Chagai and its adjacent areas heavily depend upon sheep breeding and agriculture. They cultivate grapes, pomegranate, figs and vegetables. The water is scarce in most of Balochistan, but some sporadic streams in the hills provide enough water for plantation.

But with the nuclear tests, they lost it all. Their sheep died, water evaporated with no rain as the radiation caused drastic changes in the environment. In the subsequent years, much of Balochistan was marked with a lingering drought.

After the nuclear tests, it is reported that almost half of the cattle of people in these areas died because of nuclear radiation. Many cases of human loss was also reported. Around 60 people were reported to have died before the end of 2000 due to diseases uncommon before in the area.

The worst of all was health problems that these poor people faced and are still facing due to the ‘Islamic bomb.’ This slideshow above shows kids from these areas who were born with disfigured external organs.

The World Baloch Women’s Forum President Professor Naela Quadri Baloch, Secretary General Dr. Murwarid Amiri, Organizer Afghanistan Ms. Mahkan Naroi and Organizer United Kingdom Ms. Negar HossienBor declared that May 28 1998 was a black day in history when Pakistan tested the made in China nukes on Baloch soil that resulted in sudden deaths of thousands of innocent people who were totally unaware of radioactivity poisoned the air water and soil.

Skin, eye and lungs were the first targets of nuclear dust. Soil moisture evaporated in radius of a thousand km resulted in drought for 5 years, 90% cattle and wild life died, survived are facing displacements, cancers, and poverty, abnormal and before time childbirth is an ongoing routine case in the hit area. International community, support and rights organizations kept silent; Baloch faced it in isolation and loneliness.

Treaties on non-proliferation of nukes never applied to stop the nuclear terrorism on Baloch Country. We demand implementation of CTBT, Vienna Convention on Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage INFCIR/556 for the responsible countries including sanctions on them.
