Balochistan: The Plight of Disappeared in Balochistan
Monday, 25 January 2010
The cycle of enforced disappearance in Balochistan started several years ago. No practical measure to fight this has been taken by the government except some shallow statements.
Below is an article published by Zaib Khan: “My brother was picked up by the state intelligence agencies when he was returning home from office,” recalled Hani Baloch, the sister of a missing Baloch person, as she broke into tears while saying this. Baloch Women’s Panel (BWP) has been observing a hunger strike camp in front of Quetta Press Club for the past many years for the recovery of several missing persons. The participants of this camp are predominantly the o... details >>

Balochistan: Justice Delayed, Justice Denied
Tuesday, 19 January 2010
Human Rights groups call for recovery of missing and unlawfully detained people.
Below is an article published by Dawn:Even more political workers have been picked up in recent days, says VBMP chairman Nasrullah Baloch. And while the province’s home ministry has issued a list of 992 missing, several Baloch political and human rights groups have declared the list a “ploy to deceive the people.”The confusion regarding the number of missing is surprising, given that there are a number of political and human rights groups involved in collecting information on the missing from different parts of the province. VBMP, for example, is also working with the Marri Ittehad, ... details >>

AHRC: Balochistan Situation Heating Up

November 3, 2009
A Statement from Awami Jamhoori Ittehad and Insani Huqooq Ittehad forwarded by the Asian Human Rights Commission
A situation akin to 1971 is brewing in Balochistan. Radical nationalists advocating a separate state of Balochistan are steadily gaining popularity at the expense of those who continue to look for a solution within the federal framework.
The reasons for this surge in separatism are quite apparent. The people of Balochistan have a long list of grievances, and next to none have been addressed over the last 60 years. Instead of negotiations and redressing the wrongs, succes... details >>

An Appeal for John Solecki's release
I hope the kidnappers of John Solecki are reading these lines or someone would help these words reach them. Throughout my journalistic career, I have been an ardent supporter of the Baloch struggle for self-determination. I am glad many Baloch leaders do listen to me. They apparently agree that the Baloch journalists and intellectuals also have a role to show them the right direction.
Initially, we thought the John's kidnappers were not the Baloch but the Taliban. Now that it has been learnt that he is in the custody of the Baloch Liberation United Front (BLUF), I, as a Baloch journalist, would like to humbly appeal to his kidnappers to release John safe and sound. I know I cannot inf... details >>
