On August 21<sup>st</sup> in Dasht, 2 Baloch teenagers were
kidnapped and subjected to acts of torture by a regional Jihadist group known
as Lashkar-e-Khurasan. While detained,
the Jihadists demanded the young teenagers renounce their Zikri faith. Wounded and traumatized, the teenagers were
released later that day. During last
Friday’s prayers Lashkar-e-Khurasan, headed by Mullah Umar*, publicly pledged
allegiance to the “Islamic State” Khalifa Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi. The fanatical extremist group went on to
reveal their dark vision.
Lashkar-e-Khurasan swore they would forcibly convert all Zikris, destroy
the Nani Mandir Hindu temple at Hinglaj and slaughter the priests. Afterwards, they ransacked and looted more
than 10 shops in the Kamkafar area of Dasht.

On Saturday the fearless Baloch Freedom Fighters responded
to Lashkar-e-Khurasan’s aggression in Dasht.
Baloch Freedom Fighters engaged in a fierce battle with the LeK
terrorists killing 11 of their members.
Soon after the battle erupted Pakistan FC soldiers arrived to reinforce
Lashkar-e-Khurasan. Baloch Sarmachar
Shaheed Gohram Salam was martyred fighting against the Pakistani Jihadists. Since the battle of Dasht, the Pakistani ISIS
Wing Lashkar-e-Khurasan has openly declared all out war against all Baloch Sarmachar.<br />

Although the international community vehemently condemns
ISIS in Syria and Iraq, they continue to cooperate with Islamabad despite
Pakistan’s blatant endorsement of ISIS affiliated terrorist group
Lashkar-e-Khurasan. While the rest of
the civilized world fights savage religious fanaticism, Pakistan has habitually
promoted extremist ideologies and harbored terrorist organizations. Groups like Lashkar-e-Khurasan, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi,
Tanzeem-ul-Islami-ul-Furqan, Lashkar-e-Taiba, Al-Qaida, and dozens of others are perpetually operating in and from Pakistan with complete impunity.</div>

Meanwhile in Kech Pakistan’s Sinister Armed Forces commenced

Civilian areas in Hoshab were indiscriminately bombarded from Pakistan
Army Gunship Helicopters and Heavy Artillery.
A number of residents were abducted during the attack. Soon after the attacks began, Baloch Freedom
Fighters arrived to defend the besieged town.
Baloch Sarmachar killed at least 7 Pakistan Army Personnel and injured several
more during the battle.</div>

age of 13 until his death on August 26<sup>th</sup> 2006; Nawab Akbar Khan
Bugti devoted his life to the advocacy of Baloch civil rights. A dedicated student and a brilliant
intellect, Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti became a shining beacon of hope in a world of
darkness. Despite State persecution and
perpetual injustice, Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti dared to challenge Pakistan’s inhuman
policies, and laid the framework for a sovereign Balochistan, free from tyranny

When General Pervez Musharraf toppled the Pakistani
government and seized power in 1999, Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti left the National Assembly
and began planting the seeds of Baloch independence. After Musharraf’s began a full scale military
assault on Dera Bugti in 2005, resulting in the massacre of 20 innocent Baloch
villagers, Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti sacrificed everything in his life to take up
arms in defence of his people. For more

On Sunday June 8<sup>th</sup> <a href="http://balochrepublicanparty.com/dera-bugti-under-military-siege-since-two-weeks-more-abductions-reported-from-sui-brp-media-cell-report/">Pakistan
Armed Forces indiscriminately bombarded civilian targets in the Geyandari,
Sori, Jataro Rekh and surrounding areas of Dera Bugti</a> with heavy
artillery, fighter jets and at least as many as 16 gunship helicopters. 10 civilian residents were killed during the
attack; among them were 2 Mazari tribesmen, one Bugti tribesman, 3 women and
two children. This most recent attack
was reportedly conducted under the direct supervision of Baloch Traitor and War
Criminal; Occupational State Interior Minister Sarfraz Bugti. Throughout Sui, Occupational State Forces conducted
door to door home invasions, abducting 9 residents; Edo s/o Darman Bugti,
Bangal s/o Darbani Bugti, Marshalah s/o Manu Bugti, Ali Husain s/o Bhamba
Bugti, Saif Rahman s/o Khair Bux, Jaffar s/o Javed Bugti and Allaho s/o Javed
Bugti.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sunday’s attack is a continuation of a week-long offensive
which has devastated at least 9 towns in the Dera Bugti region. Earlier this week at least 15 people were
killed and more than 20 injured when Occupational <a href="http://balochrepublicanparty.com/dozens-killed-and-abducted-during-state-forces-operation-in-darangen-area-dera-bugti/">State
Forces bombarded villages in the Darangen and Rustam Darbaar areas of Sui</a>,
Dera Bugti. State Forces ruthlessly
assaulted the impoverished villages with gunship helicopters, heavy artillery and
chemical weapons. On Wednesday the <a href="http://crisisbalochistan.wordpress.com/2014/06/05/sui-under-siege/">Patfeedar,
RD238 and Tangwani areas of Sui, Dera Bugti, were also heavily bombarded by
State Forces</a>. More than a dozen local
inhabitants were abducted, and at least 10 people were seriously injured during
the attack. Yesterday, survivors in
RD238 recovered 2 unidentified bullet riddled bodies. Since June 3<sup>rd</sup> more than 30
civilian residents of the Dera Bugti region have been killed by State Forces.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Despite their relentless campaign of savage violence, the
Pakistan state continues to engage in blatant human rights abuses with complete
impunity. Occupational State Soldiers
rampage through impoverished villages leaving behind rubble and ruin under the
guise of fighting terrorists. Meanwhile State
Sponsored Death Squads, Mercenaries and Gangs of Fanatics continue to operate
freely. Only Yesterday <a href="http://tribune.com.pk/story/719388/death-toll-from-taftan-bombing-rises-to-30/">30 people were killed when Terrorists attacked busses of Shia pilgrims</a> parked
at a hotel in Taftan, near the Pak-Iran border. While
Pakistan’s Sinister armies are busy ravaging defenceless Baloch villagers, <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/pakistan-airport-attack-kills-5/2014/06/08/9fbbbe2a-ef46-11e3-914c-1fbd0614e2d4_story.html">Taliban
militants disguised as security personnel stormed the International Airport</a> in Karachi,
killing 18 people.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Baloch have historically and openly maintained a commitment
to a secular and nationalist agenda. In
stark contrast to this, Pakistan implements malevolent policies of severe
oppression of minorities, enforced radicalization and persecution of moderate
ideologies. Through these policies
Pakistan has effectively classified an entire ethnicity as terrorists to
justify their sinister campaign of ethnic cleansing. In a recent statement Baloch Republican Party
spokesman Mr. Sher Mohammad Bugti said <i>“Pakistani
forces continue Baloch Genocide in different strategies and intensify military
operations against Baloch civilians in all over Balochistan under the pretext
of action against who they call terrorists.”</i><br />

After BSO-Azad CC Member Lateef Johar’s heroic 46 day long Hunger
Strike at the Karachi Press Club to protest the enforced disappearance of
BSO-Azad Chairman Zahid Baloch, BSO-Azad has finally ended the demonstration at
the behest of all the activists, journalists, supporters, family, friends and
the Asian Human Rights Commission. <a href="http://www.humanrights.asia/news/ahrc-news/AHRC-STM-115-2014">The AHRC
has promised to raise the issue of the enforced disappearance of Zahid Baloch</a>
and other student & political activists at the United Nations, as well as
continue to raise the issues of enforced disappearances and extra judicial
killings of detainees at international level.
The AHRC has also urged the Pakistan government to find a permanent
solution to the issues of disappearances, abductions and extrajudicial killings
according to international norms. During the final days of his hunger strike, Lateef Johar’s
health had descended to near critical condition. After losing more than 30kg, his glucose
levels descended well below safe levels, and Johar’s vital signs were
fading. </div>

Throughout this ordeal, and moving forward; the courageous 22 year old

On March 18<sup>th</sup> BSO-Azad Central Chairman Zahid
Baloch was abducted by Pakistan’s Security Forces while attending a meeting in
Quetta, and subsequently imprisoned without crime or charge. Despite detailed multiple eyewitness accounts;
the Pakistani administration vehemently denies any involvement in the disappearance
of Zahid Baloch. BSO-Azad has expressed
serious concern for the safety of their abducted leader.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thousands of students and activists have been
abducted by Pakistan’s Security Forces in recent years. In the past year alone,
the <a href="http://balochwarna.com/xnews/articles.480/373-missing-persons-killed-in-past-one-year-VBMP.html">bullet
riddled & tortured remains of as many as 373 abductees were recovered</a>
in Balochistan. 5 years ago BSO-Azad
Vice Chairman Zakir Majeed was also extra-judicially abducted by State Forces
and has been missing ever since. Zakir’s
sister Banuk Farzana Majeed Baloch participated in the nearly 3000km
#VBMPLongMarch from Quetta to Karachi & then to the UN Office in Islamabad
alongside VBMP Vice-Chairman Mama Qadeer.
The Long March was a historic demonstration in protest of Pakistans
violent campaign of enforced disappearances and extra judicial executions in
Balochistan. In a <a href="http://balochwarna.com/xnews/articles.485/Zakir-Majeed%E2%80%99s-goal-of-uniting-the-Baloch-youth-on-a-single-platform-was-perceived-as-a-great-threat-Farzana-Majeed-Baloch.html">recent

Organization-Azad. He had the courage to raise his voice against state
brutalities, enforced disappearances and other human rights violations
committed by Pakistan in Balochistan”</i><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Even in neighboring Iran, Baloch students, and activists face severe
persecution at the hands of the Iranian regime.
In April and May alone, 19 Baloch activists have been executed by
hanging until death in Iran. Iranian
authorities routinely arrest and execute Baloch civilians on
fabricated charges or often without any charge at all.</div>

<a href="http://balochrepublicanparty.com/military-operations-in-balochistan-continue-several-baloch-civilians-abducted-in-latest-offensive-from-dera-bugti-brp/" target="_blank">Earlier today the Pakistan Frontier Corps and Sindh Rangers carried out a massive joint operation in the Dera Bugti regions of Balochistan.</a> Occupational State Forces burned down more than 50 homes and injured 10 civilians while heavily bombarding rural villages in Patfeedar, RD238, and Tangwani districts. During the attack State Forces invaded, looted and destroyed the houses of innocent civilians, and subjected the residents to violent abuse. Injured victims were refused access to medical care and dozens of local citizens have been reported as abducted.<br />
<br />
Soon after Occupational State Forces bombarded the innocent Dera Bugti residents, Baloch Freedom Fighters arrived in Tangwani district to rescue the besieged villages. The Brave Baloch Sarmachar unleashed a firestorm of over 20 missiles upon the Sinister State Forces. At least 25 Pakistani soldiers were killed and countless wounded during the battle of Tangwani. One Baloch Sarmachar, Qurban Bugti, embraced martyrdom during the clashes.</div>

In a statement about the attack Baloch Republican Party’s central spokesman Mr. Sher Mohammad Bugti said “<i>Pakistani forces had always been denying military offensives on one hand but on the other they had been massacring innocent lives in many areas of Balochistan.</i>” Mr. Bugti urged the international community and human rights groups to "<i>take note of human rights abuses and war crimes being committed by the state forces to deter the demands of Baloch people for their rights of freedom and sovereignty.</i>"</div>

The following is a true story about the recent enforced
abduction and extrajudicial execution of Zubair Ahmed Baloch from his home in
Lyari, Karachi. This firsthand account
of Zubair’s abduction was written by an anonymous eyewitness to the incident.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
28th May 9:30 am: Zubair Ahmed Baloch was sleeping while the
gate was wide open. His brother had gone to shower in the neighbor's, not
alarmed of the horror he shall have to face in the next few minutes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They broke into the house armed with the notion of abducting
him. He who was in a deep slumber, little did he know that after a while, he
would be asleep forever. When his brother finally got out of the shower, he was
informed of the ungodly incident. He was overwhelmed with mixed feelings. He
knew that his brother was innocent but he was also aware of the profanity of
the rangers. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This news spread rapidly like a fire. His family and friends
ushered in, pleading for a last look of their son. His aunt pleaded for his
life, pleaded for their acknowledgement of his innocence. She was welcomed by
the disrespectful attitude of the rangers with the fake promise of his safe
return.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
28th May 10:00 am: His body was thrown at Jadgal Chowk.
Blood was still oozing out of his body, forming a blanket of blood around him.
He just laid there dead yet nobody cared to take him to the hospital, fearing
their own lives. Cries echoed in the air when he was taken to his family.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He was taken so young. The calmness, the innocence his face
depicted provided the testimony of his innocence. No police came, no FIR was
filed. Rangers were above the law, nobody could find it sufficient in
themselves to raise even a cry of justice as the authorities were bound to rule
against them. This was their trial of being destitute. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Even the media failed to sketch the true picture of the
story. Newspapers were filled in with the story of him being killed in a gang
war. He was sketched as a culprit while his murderers escaped justice. This is
basically the story of every other day in Lyari, Karachi. The real terrorists
stay on the loose while the innocent keep getting killed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I do not ask much from you but only to play a part in
seeking justice for him, Zubair Ahmed Baloch, and all the others who are killed
mercilessly every single day in Lyari. I ask of you to raise awareness of this
alarming situation in Lyari, Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan so that no other son is
snatched mercilessly from his mother. For you to know the real side of the
story. I would highly appreciate it if you aid me in raising my voice for the
justice for Zubair Ahmed Baloch. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Private schools throughout the region have been forced to
close after state endorsed terrorist gang Tanzeem-ul-Islami-ul-Furqan
distributed a threatening flyer in the Panjgur region earlier this month.
Al-Furqan terrorists accuse school administrators of “corrupting the minds of
young girls by exposing them to western education” and demanded “all private
schools must immediately disallow girls from seeking an education”. The
terrorist gang has effectively assumed the role of enforcing a long established
Pakistan State policy of strictly oppressing education of Baloch. On May
14<sup>th</sup>, within close vicinity to a FC checkpoint, Al-Furqan militants
set fire to a school van transporting female students and teachers.
Although Pakistani FC soldiers were stationed at a checkpoint only a few meters
away, they did not respond to the attack.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">For several months, the entire Panjgur region has been under
heavy occupation by State Forces. Pakistan Armed Forces have established
checkpoints and camps at every major intersection and roadway. Vacant
schools and public buildings have been reportedly repurposed into military barracks
and detention centers.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Despite Pakistan’s heavy military presence in the Panjgur
region, radical terrorist gangs openly operate with impunity. Instead of
fighting the extremist thugs, Pakistan’s army directs their force against
Balochistan’s impoverished rural villages. Students, journalists,
activists, suspected nationalists and even their relatives are routinely
targeted by State endorsed death squads. The use of mercenary gangs to
enforce the policy of the Occupational State has been a long standing practice
in Pakistan. Recently in Sindh, the tortured
remains of Sindhi Nationalist Ameen Malhani were found with the word “Pakistan”
viciously carved into his chest.</span></div>

International Voice for Baloch Missing Persons coordinator Aziz Baloch, Journalist and Writer Jahanzeb Hussain, as well as a diverse group of Human Rights Defenders from the South Asian Community and Activists in Canada held a protest rally at the Vancouver Art Gallery in Vancouver, British Columbia yesterday to raise awareness of the ongoing campaign of extra judicial killings and enforced abductions in Balochistan. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Participants showed their solidarity for the <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23SaveBSOAzadLeader&src=hash">#SaveBSOAzadLeader</a>
campaign for the release of extra judicially abducted BSO-Azad Student Leader
Zahid Baloch. IVBMP demonstrators and activists called upon the
Canadian Government, Prime Minister Harper, the United Nations, and the entire
international community to condemn Pakistan’s policy of enforced abductions and
play a role in the safe release of the abducted BSO-Azad student leader Zahid
Baloch.</div>

to <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23SaveBSOAzadLeader&src=hash">#SaveBSOAzadLeader</a>
Zahid Baloch. The protesters demand
Pakistan immediately release imprisoned BSO-Azad Chairman Zahid Baloch &
all other political prisoners, as well as immediately cease all military
aggression in Balochistan. Demonstrators
also call upon the Canadian government to suspend all financial and political
support for the Pakistani regime.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Throughout Pakistan’s aggressive occupation of Balochistan,
Occupational State Forces have systematically sabotaged the education of the
Indigenous Baloch population. The
enforced abduction and unlawful imprisonment of Baloch Student Leader Zahid
Baloch is especially indicative of the ongoing oppression of education in
Balochistan. Learning centers and
schools in Panjgur, Turbat, Awaran, Mashkay, Dera Bugti, Mastung, and many
other regions have been routinely attacked by Pakistan’s Armed Forces. Teachers & students are abducted and
subjected to acts of torture, and quite often their bullet riddled remains are
found dumped. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
During a massive military operation in Mashkay, in April
2014, the Pakistan Army invaded and occupied the local schools. Classrooms were
converted into military barracks & detention centers, complete with private
torture cells. In March 2014 State
Forces also attacked schools in Panjgur & Turbat. Students and teachers were threatened &
tortured, and the schools forcibly closed.
During the raid in Turbat at least 6 teachers were abducted by State
Agents.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Occupational State Forces have forced the closure of
countless schools in the region, and seized or destroyed all learning materials
& supplies. As a result, currently
more than 2.3 million Baloch children are not attending school. Since the implementation of the
"National Commission for Human Development" (NCHD) in 2002, all of
the 615 schools built under the program are now closed. Although the Occupational State Administration
claims to have re-opened 450 of these schools, most of these are state funded
religious seminaries. Baloch classrooms
are being systematically replaced by Military Bases and Madrassahs. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“They want to make the
young generation into extremists by depriving them of the study of science,
philosophy and creative research. For this purpose, madrassas are being set up
in Balochistan. Heavy finances are being provided to these madrassas. The
Baloch people are being pushed into destitution. Then, their poverty-stricken
children are being enrolled into madrassas. The secular schools set up by the
Baloch youth are being forcibly closed and their teachers are being kidnapped.”
</i>– BSO-Azad Central Committee Member Sangat Lateef Johar</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Through the systematic deprivation of education, the
Pakistani state not only enforces a condition of perpetual poverty, but they
also cultivate radicalization through fundamentalist religious schools. Preventing the Baloch people from attaining
meaningful education is crucial to the occupational state’s system of
oppression. By denying the Indigenous Population of Balochistan adequate
education, the Baloch Youth are subsequently prevented from achieving their
personal potential and attaining meaningful employment.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Even college dorms and book stores are victimized by State
Forces for possessing or selling educational materials. In January of 2014, State Forces raided a
college dorm and proudly confiscated learning material from Baloch
students. During the raid, State Forces
subjected the students and a professor to acts of torture, and even abducted
one of the students. In April 2014
bookshops in Gwadar & Turbat were raided by Occupational State
Soldiers. The owners & employees
were tortured and abducted, and educational books were seized.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Although the Pakistan Army has readily and proudly accepted
responsibility for their oppression of education in Balochistan, an unknown and
fictitious terrorist gang Tanzeem-ul-Islami-ul-Furqan have recently distributed flyers in Panjgur and several other areas, threatening residents who send their
girls to school. Baloch Political Leaders, Activists, and Prominent Figures have all released public statements exposing these flyers and Tanzeem-ul-Islami-ul-Furqan as nothing more than Occupational State manufactured propaganda.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As a result of the
continual military aggression directed at the learning centers & schools,
as well as the distribution of these flyers, many parents in the region have
become concerned for the safety of their children and are reluctant to send them
to school. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Pakistan State endorsement of extremism and oppression of
education in Balochistan has been an integral component of the occupation of
Balochistan for a very long time. IVBMP
coordinator Aziz Baloch describes Pakistan’s policies suppressing secular
Baloch culture and modern education through sabotaging education in the region.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“In 1979, During
General Zia era who received billions of dollars from US (Reagan Administration)
for Mujaheedin (holy worriers) to defeat former USSR in Afghanistan I was a
student that time in Quetta. Dictator Zia used all US aid; started opening
thousands religious school across Balochistan to counter our secular Baloch
national struggle. This Pak- state propaganda is nothing new against Baloch
national struggle.” </i> – IVBMP coordinator Aziz Baloch</div>

Repected scholar, intellect, activist and BSO-Azad Central
Chairman Zahid Baloch was well known for his dedicated activism promoting the
Baloch national identity & right to self determination. For over 10 years Zahid was a devoted and
active member of the Baloch Students Organization. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Zahid Baloch joined the BSO-Azad in 2003 when he moved to
Karachi after completing his matriculation in his hometown of Naal,
Khuzdar. While studying at Urdu College
in Karachi, he served as president of BSO-Azad Karachi Zone from 2004 until
2005. In 2006 he joined the BSO-Azad
Central Committee and 2 years later was elected to the position of General
Secretary. After 6 years with the
BSO-Azad CC, Zahid Baloch was elected as BSO-Azad Central Chairman in a 2012
BSO-Azad council session.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On March 18<sup>th</sup> 2014 Zahid Baloch and 3 other
senior BSO-Azad leaders attended a BSO-Azad meeting in Satellite Town,
Quetta. At around 5pm, as BSO-Azad
members were leaving the meeting, Pakistan Frontier Corps Soldiers descended
upon them. Several eyewitnesses including
BSO-Azad senior Vice Chairperson Kareema Baloch and three other BSO-Azad
leaders saw the PFC Paramilitary Soldiers detain interrogate and abduct
BSO-Azad Central Chairman Zahid Baloch.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“The BSO-A, comprised
of Baloch youngsters campaigning against human rights abuses in Balochistan,
has been a victim of political persecution at the hands of Pakistan’s military
establishment. Scores of its leaders and
activists have been abducted and killed by Pakistan’s intelligence agencies and
military in a brutal campaign of ‘abduct, kill and dump’. Zahid Baloch is the second chairman of the
group to become a victim of enforced disappearance. On June 8, 2009, the
group’s then chairman Zakir Majeed was picked up by intelligence agencies from
Balochistan’s Mastung area. He is still missing."</i> – BSO-Azad Azad

The Pakistani administration has refused to issue any
statements regarding the extrajudicial abduction and subsequent detention of
BSO-Azad leader Zahid Baloch. Zahid
Baloch has been illegally detained without crime, charge, or legal representation
for over 40 days now. BSO-Azad representatives have expressed
serious concerns for Zahid’s safety and believe his life is in jeopardy. BSO-Azad senior Vice-Chairperson Kareema Baloch
said the decision to conduct a hunger strike protest was agreed upon by the
central committee, many members volunteered to do it. “<i>If Johar is taken away or, God forbid, something happens to him, other
members will step forward and take his place,” </i>she said.<i> “This cycle of hunger
strikes will go on till Zahid Baloch is released</i>.”</div>

A native resident of Naal, Khudzar, Zahid Kurd Baloch joined
the Karachi Baloch Student Organization (BSO) in 2003, while studying at Urdu University in Karachi. "BSO is a student organisation that is championing the right Baloch people through peaceful means. Only students who are studying in a educational institution can be members of BSO." In 2004 he became
president of BSO-Karachi Zone. Zahid became a member of the BSO-Azad
Central Committee in 2006, 2 years later he was elected as General Secretary of BSO. After four years of dedicated service in the Central Committte, the central council elected Zahid Baloch as Chairman of BSO-Azad in 2012.<br />
<br />
Throughout his career with BSO-Azad, Zahid
Baloch has been an active member of the organization conducting peaceful
protests and delivering inspirational speeches.
Under the leadership of Zahid Baloch, BSO-Azad has demonstrated their
commitment to democratic values and peaceful activism.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
On March 18<sup>th</sup> 2014 multiple eyewitnesses
including Senior Chairperson of Baloch Student Organisation (Azad), Banuk
Karima Baloch saw Baloch Student Organization Azad Chairman <a href="http://www.afghanvoice.org.uk/avfm/readarticle.php?article=71&writer=34&cat=6" target="_blank">Zahid Baloch blatantly abducted by Pakistani Agents during a
raid on a BSO-Azad meeting in Quetta</a>. According to BSO Leadership "Zaheed Baloch, Kareema Baloch and other BSO leaders were coming out of a meeting when they were stopped by Frontier Corps personnel on the Satellite Road in Quetta at 5pm. The paramilitary personnel took him away after a few minutes of on-spot interrogation."<br />
<br />
Zahid Baloch is the latest in a
long line of BSO-Azad leaders, workers and activists abducted by State
Forces. In June of 2009 BSO-Azad Senior Vice Chairman Zakir Majeed Baloch
was abducted from Quetta, Balochistan. Since <a href="http://www.humanrights.asia/news/urgent-appeals/AHRC-UAC-058-2013">Pakistan
unjustly imposed a ban on the Baloch Nationalist group</a> in 2013, State
Agents, Army, and proxy death squads have continually abducted and assassinated
their members. </div>

On April 22<sup>nd</sup> 2014 <a href="http://balochwarna.com/xnews/articles.469/Chairman-of-Baloch-student-Organisation-abducted-comrades-announce-hunger-strike-till-death.html">BSO-Azad
representatives held a press conference</a> to announce <a href="http://www.sagaar.net/news-130">BSO-Azad Central Committee member Lateef
Johar</a>’s intent to “Hunger Strike Till Death” at the Karachi Press Club to
protest the enforced abduction of Chairman Zahid Baloch. Since that day,
BSO-Azad Central Committee member Lateef Johar has been encamped alongside
other BSO-Azad activists and supporters.
<a href="http://www.humanrights.asia/news/urgent-appeals/AHRC-UAC-062-2014">BSO-Azad
and their supporters have expressed serious concern</a> about the well being of
Chairman Zahid Baloch and believe he could be extra judicially executed at any
moment.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
During the press conference Senior Chairperson of the Baloch
Student Organisation (Azad), Banuk Karima Baloch said “Although BSO-Azad has
been strictly committed to its democratic struggle; powerful Pakistani state
elements could never tolerate our mere existence. From past 5 years, there has
been an unannounced deadly crackdown against BSO-Azad that has left hundreds of
our peaceful activists being abducted and dozens extra judicially murdered. In addition,
BSO-Azad has also been unlawfully banned to carry out any political activity.
Despite all of these brutalities, BSO-Azad has not compromised its principal of
peaceful democratic struggle.” Banuk Karima Baloch urged the UN to ensure
the protection of the BSO-Azad hunger strike protesters currently engaged in a
peaceful demonstration.<br />

Although Mashkai schools remained open, the local teachers & students are reluctant to return to classes, fearing the heavily armed Pakistani soldiers encamped within their schools.

The Voice for Baloch Missing Persons Chairman <a href="http://www.humanrights.asia/news/urgent-appeals/AHRC-UAC-046-2014" target="_blank">Nasrullah Baloch has again received threats to his life</a> as result of his recent
appearance at a Supreme Court Hearing regarding cases of missing persons in
Balochistan. Representatives from the Norwegian
Mission also met with Nasrullah Baloch to discuss the cases. After participating in 2 days of hearings on
March 25<sup>th</sup> & 26<sup>th</sup>, Chairman Nasrullah Baloch was followed
and harassed by intelligence agents who seized and destroyed his flight tickets
then told him he was a traitor for speaking with foreigners about the missing
persons. Nasrullah Baloch was further
detained, searched, and threatened by security agents later that day at the
airport. Nasrullah and his family have
been threatened on numerous occasions throughout the past several years. In November of 2013, his younger brother was
approached by a gang of armed intelligence agents and warned that if Nasrullah
continued his campaign against human rights abuses he would be “dealt with in a
wrong way”. Undeterred by threats and
intimidation, the VBMP Chairman continues his crusade for the recovery of the
20,000 abducted Baloch citizens.
International Human Rights Organizations are urging Pakistani
authorities to guarantee the safety of Nasrullah Baloch and other human rights
activists in Pakistan.</div>

Qadeer Baloch. During the interview Mr.
Qadeer Baloch spoke of mass graves discovered in Khuzdar, Gawadar, Mand,

Pakistani Security Agencies & Armed Forces in the killing of Baloch citizens
& burying them in mass graves. Mama
Qadeer also stated “we no longer appeal to Pakistani institute and have already

Baloch Nationalist Leader Hyarbyair Marri recently held an

Baloch activists interviews.” Hyarbyair
Marri also described how the Durand line has arbitrarily divided the Baloch
nation, stating “We have a long history with Afghanistan, we was a good
neighbor with Afghanistan and had a relationship since long before the
Pakistani occupation (of Balochistan). 7
million (citizens) of Baloch nationality (live) in Afghanistan.”</div>

While Baloch activists held Black Day protests, the Pakistani Armed Forces continued their violent campaign of systematic persecution. In Nokjo, Mashkai, Pakistani forces invaded the home of Sowali Baloch. State Agents subjected the inhabitants, including the women & children, to acts of torture. The rural home was then looted of valuables and livestock, leaving the impoverished family traumatized & destitute. Meanwhile in Khuchlaak, Quetta, two unidentified dead bodies were discovered on Thursday.<br />
<br />
On March 25th State Agents abducted Akram s/o Ismail from Tasap, Panjgur.

the Sindh province of Pakistan has exploded with unrest. Citizens across Sindh have closed shops and
joined the protests against the Violent State Oppression of Nationalist activism. Despite the assassination of Maqsoon Qureshi,
the Sindh #FreedomMarch was joined by thousands of participants. JSQM Chairperson Sanan Qureshi issued the

Once again Pakistani Forces have sabotaged the education of
the Baloch Nation. On March 17<sup>th</sup>
2014 Pakistani Armed Forces attacked the Karawan English Language Center in
Koshkalat, Turbat. Six of the School
Teachers; Abdul Salam, Mehran, Jamil, Muheeb, Kalimullah, Siraj, and three students

Only last week several Baloch students were attacked and severely beaten by a gang of 8 BBA students at an Islamabad University. The Balochi students were attacked for speaking openly in Balochi language. Also, earlier this year in mid-January, the Pakistani FC raided a College dormitory in Turbat. Whereupon they confiscated allegedly “controversial” material including documentaries and history books by respected journalists and intellectuals. During the raid FC soldiers abducted one of the students and subjected a university professor as well as several other students to acts of torture.</div>

Incidents such as these truly illustrate the occupational state’s agenda. Preventing the Baloch people from attaining meaningful education is crucial to the occupational state’s system of oppression. By denying the Indigenous Population of Balochistan adequate education, the Baloch Youth are subsequently prevented from achieving their personal potential and attaining meaningful employment. The Pakistani States policy of enforced poverty through restriction of proper education is an essential component to maintaining their occupation of Balochistan.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Banuk Farzana Mahjeed along with Mama Qadeer and several other
VBMP activists held a press conference at the Karachi Press club on March 18<sup>th</sup>. Banuk Farzana Mahjeed addressed the
conference and demanded The Pakistani Courts explain why her abducted Brother
Zakir Mahjeed’s name was removed from the Supreme Court’s official list of
abducted Baloch persons. Zakir Mahjeed
was abducted by State Agencies in June of 2009 from the Mastung area of
Balochistan. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Since Zakir Mahjeed’s abduction, Farzana Mahjeed has been
petitioning the courts and steadily protesting.
In 2013 Farzana Mahjeed joined Mama Qadeer and the Voice for Baloch
Missing Persons Long March participants for the recovery of their missing loved
ones. Demonstrators marched nearly
3000km from Quetta to Karachi to Islamabad in protest of the State Policy of
enforced disappearances & extrajudicial killings in Balochistan. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In her statements, Farzana Mahjeed said: “If my brother has
committed any crimes then he should be brought before the Supreme Court. But
from past five years the state agencies have not even once heard my plea to
locate the whereabouts of my brother.”
Furthermore, she asked “Can justice Jawad tell us why the doors of this
institution for justice [Supreme Court] are being shut for us? Has Justice
Jawad forgotten my plea and the tear of Kabeer Baloch’s mother?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Although Chief
Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry and Justice Jawad had ordered the
release of her brother and several other abductees, security & intelligence
agencies have refused to comply. As well
as Zakir Mahjeed, many other abductees including Mushtaq Baloch, Kabeer Baloch,
Attaullah Baloch and Saadullah Baloch were also removed from the official list.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Banuk Farzana Mahjeed and The Voice For Baloch Missing
Persons appeals to the United Nations, International Community, Amnesty
International, Human Rights Watch and other international humanitarian
organisations to take notice of enforced-disappearances in Balochistan and play
their role for the safe release of her brother Zakir Majeed and thousands of
other abducted Baloch.<br />

This is the 5th time ISI sponsored attacks have brought carnage to the refugee camp. In December of 2013 ISI Agents stormed the refugee camp killing Dur Khan Bugti s/o Gul Bahar Bugti, Nehal Khan s/o Dur Khan Baloch, Mr. Zar Khan s/o Gulzar Baloch and Gul Bahar Bugti’s young granddaughter. In July of 2013 hand grenades were thrown into the windows of homes wounding the wife and young daughter of Riaz Gul Bugti. In 2011 a suicide bomber killed Dur Khan Bugti and a young child, and in 2009 an explosive laden cart was delivered the home of Riaz Gul Bugti by a confessed ISI agent.</div>

<br />
Earlier this month, State Sponsored Terrorist Gang Lashkar-e-Jhangvi used a human bomb to commit mass murder of Shi Pilgrims in Mastung. The Pakistani State used this tragic terrorist attack to justify a drastic escalation of military force in Balochistan. Soon after PM Nawaz Sharif issued a public edict ordering “surgical strikes” against the terrorists responsible for the #MastungBlast , Pakistani Armed Forces launched a full scale military offensive against civilian Baloch targets. Conducting attacks against moderate secular Baloch citizens implies the Mastung Terror attack was facilitated by a desperate state seeking justification for their ongoing genocide in Balochistan.<br />

On January 23rd 2014 Pakistani forces intensified operations in Panjgur, Mashkey and Kalat. Full Scale Invasions were conducted against civilian targets, with Armored Vehicles and Gunship Helicopters. At least 135 residents have been abducted, 6 killed, and countless wounded by State Forces. Two women from Kalat were amongst the casualties. Since the Siege began on Thursday, the entire region has been under a complete black out. Prior to invasion, Pakistani Forces cut all power and communication to and from the Panjgur region. Leaked reports of State Forces deploying Chemical Weapons against the panjgur residents on Friday have surfaced on social media. According to reports a high number of fatalities are being concealed by Pakistani Forces.<br />
<br />
As Pakistani Forces continue their siege of Panjgur, Security Forces conducted a series of home invasions in Quetta on Saturday. Several Residents were abducted during the raids. By Sunday, several more casualties of Pakistan’s ongoing military offensive were discovered. Two bullet riddled bodies were found in the Washok area of Besima, Panjgur, and another bullet-riddled body was recovered in Mastung on January 25th.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Last night, Pakistani forces attacked Zafar Colony, Sui,
Dera Bugti. During the assault, Farooq
Mondarani Bugti was abducted. In Awaran
Market, local bus driver Muneer was also abducted by State Agents on Monday. In Chatar Naseerabad, Dur Mohmmad was
abducted by unidentified gunmen.</div>
<br />
As the State Army intensifies the Genocide in Balochistan, the victims of the #MastungBlast are deprived justice. The Lashkar-e-Jhangvi terrorist thugs responsible for the attacks remain unpunished. As a result Pakistani Terrorist Gangs are emboldened by State facilitated impunity. Without fear of reprisal, radical extremists can continue to commit acts of terrorism upon innocent civilians.<br />

Futher evidence of State Sponsored Genocide in Balochistan was revealed on January 25th as local residents of Totak, Khuzdar discovered a mass grave containing 17 dead bodies near a known operating base of State Sponsored Death Squad Shafiq Mengal. Since the initial discovery on Saturday, several other mass graves have been found in the region. The second contained 8 more bodies and another 78 corpses were found in the 3rd grave. Reports from the region indicate the remains of at least 100 victims have now been recovered from the #KhuzdarMassGraves . Since the discovery of the mass graves, Pakistan’s armed forces have occupied and cordoned off the area. An anonymous source has reported that at least 50 additional Mass Graves have been found since the area was locked down by Security Forces.<br />

January 14<sup>th</sup> 2013, Shiite Pilgrims were attacked
a second time this year while returning from Iran. Pakistani Terrorist group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi detonated
a human bomb, destroying the Pilgrim’s bus killing 29 people and injuring nearly 40 others. The bomb blast was followed by a hail of terrorist gunfire. Lashkar-e-Jhangvi also claimed responsibility
for the January 1<sup>st</sup> attack on Shiite Pilgrims when a car bomb was
driven into their bus killing three.
Following the #MastungBlast attack, mass protests broke out in Quetta. Public Protests led by the Brave Families of
the deceased and the local Shia Hazara community brought Quetta traffic to a
standstill. The Quetta protests quickly
sparked demonstrations in several other cities throughout Pakistan including
Karachi, Hyderabad and Islamabad.</div>

assured the protestors that “We will not allow the situation to go on like this”. Although Minister Nisar has made promises of
action. Rather than investigate the bus attack and
arrest the criminals responsible, the Pakistani Security Forces fired tear gas
into the crowds of Shia protestors and arrested at least 8 demonstrators. Leaders of the Shia community have condemned
the incident at Tower terming it “a cruel act by the police”. </div>

Earlier this month,
on Thursday January 9<sup>th</sup>, Pakistani FC soldiers invaded a Turbat
college dorm. A professor and several
students were tortured and one student abducted.
During the raid, FC soldiers looted the dorm of valuables and learning
materials. Several days later, the FC
held a press conference to boast about the plunder of what they termed
“anti-Pakistani” literature. The
confiscated books included works by Bertrand Russell, and Meer Gul Khan Naseer or about historical figures such as Jawaharlal Nehru, Nelson Mandela, Che
Guevera and Ghandi. Even Poetry books by Ata Shad, Gholam Hossian Shohaz, and Kareem Dashti were taken. Not only does this
raid confirm Pakistan’s agenda of oppression through learning deprivation, but
also establishes their own fear of modern and moderate ideologies. This attack and confiscation of such material
only proves that Pakistans radical policies are too feeble to endure. Pakistan’s inability to combat the ideas and
concepts put forth in books with their own ideology is only substantiated by
their censorship of any information they are unable to intelligently dispute.</div>
