The Express Tribune - Balochistan results: Four parties jointly protest ‘vote fraud’
Meahwhile yesterday in Quetta the leaders and members of four key Balochistan political parties staged a unified demonstration outside the Provincial Election Commission offices.  Members and leaders of the JUI-I, PTI, BNP-M and Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamat protested the outcome of the rigged May 11th Pakistani elections.
All party leaders involved in the protest agreed that clear evidence of electoral rigging had occurred and they had even recovered some of the real ballots (which had been replaced) from the garbage dumps.  The Pakistani administration claims that if there was such widespread electoral fraud then why are only people in Balochistan protesting, yet the daily escalation of violence in Karachi seems to suggest otherwise.

Playlist of more than 50 videos of electoral fraud and vote rigging during the May 11th Pakistani elections.
With so many videos indicating the electoral fraud committed, the Pakistani government officials must think very little of public intelligence if they expect us to believe there was no fraudulent activities.  I find their attempts at deception an insult to my intellect an insult to the intelligence of all other UN member states, and an insult to democracy.  We stand here idle while Pakistan spits in our faces and laughs.

PML-N PkMAP and NP form illegal government in Balochistan

PML-N secures support of PKMAP, NP in Balochistan

With fewer than 1% of votes PML-N alongside PkMAP and NP have commandeered the occupied Balochistan region in the controversial elections.  Amidst allegations of rigging, the "elected" parties are preparing to form an illegal government in Balochastan.  BNP, JUI-F, BRP, and many others have voiced their objections to the unfair and corrupt elections and have led protests demanding action in the matter.

Dawn.com - JUI-F leader terms Balochistan polls ‘artificial and rigged’

The NAB (National Accountability Bureau) has promised to present short & long term actions plans in response.

Although the majority of Baloch people refused to vote, the PML-N federalist, Nawabzada Jangayz Marri, who is vehemently opposed to Baloch sovereignty  is none-the-less a leading candidate for the position of Chief Minister of Balochistan.

Pakistan Today - Interview with Jangayz Marri

In an interview with Pakistan Today Jangayz said, “I want all the militants to go back to their old ways and rejoin the democratic process for the betterment of Baloch people and Balochistan."  Jangayz claims to believe in democracy, telling Pakistan Today “I believe in parliamentary democracy as our political and economic issues could only be solved through a democratic process.”.  In a true democracy the people of Balochistan would be granted a referendum to decide their sovereignty, just like every other modern civilized democracy (Canada-Quebec, Britain-Ireland, Denmark-Iceland, etc..).  It seems the only thing Jangayz believes in is the corrupt agenda of an occupational government and how it serves his personal ambitions.


Beyond the influence of Pakistani government coercion  many international news agencies are beginning to take notice of the ongoing crisis in Balochistan.  The following article by the Express Tribune offers a rare beacon of light amidst the darkness of corruption and deceit surrounding occupied Balochistan.

Express Tribune - Balochistan demands fairness


In Balochistan the abductions and killing continue.  Three day old Human remains were discovered today in Turbat Balochistan.

On May 16th Two Baloch civilians were abducted in Kharan Balochistan, and Babul Jatak and his brother Noor u allah Jatak were abducted by Pakistani Forces in Mastung Balochistan.

Pakistani influenced media blames Balochistan voter turnout on Separatist violence.

Although most Baloch people boycotted the rigged Pakistani elections (video of ballot stuffing), the Baloch nationalist parties who were elected in the region were rewarded with a false victory and hold positions without any power.

Poll results suggest victory for Baloch nationalists

Protests continue to rage against election results

These stories and many others portray the low voter turnout in Balochistan on threats and violence from Baloch separatist factions.  If Baloch people were so frightened of violence then why were they out protesting the election of an illegal government.  These stories and others like it are an attempt to justify the abduction and killing of Baloch people as well as attempting to turn Baloch people against one another.

Most developed and modern nations today have provided opportunity for regions of their countries to cede and become independent.  In Canada, the province of Quebec was allowed to conduct referendum (voting) to decide if they wished to separate from Canada, they chose to remain.  Also more recently in Britain, Ireland held a separatist referendum but chose to remain a province of Britain.  Other nations have already set the precedent of how a developed modern country handles a separatist movement, yet Pakistan refuses to provide the people of Balochistan the same basic liberty and freedom of choice everyone else in the world recieves.

Baloch abductions and killings continue.. WARNING graphic images

Pakistani armed forces kill and dump operations continue in occupied Balochistan.  Each week dozens of Baloch civilians are abducted.  Not long afterwards their tortured and disfigured remains are found dumped in the rural areas.  Below are images of just a few of the victims found in 2013.

We must never forget their sacrifice and honor the memory of these victims by creating awareness and spreading the word to the entire world about the ongoing Baloch genocide.

Little hope remains for Baloch independence as Nawaz Sharif remains in power.

Protests and empty/locked voting locations while occupied Balochistan protested and boycot the May 11th Pakistan elections.

Although the Boycott of Pakistani elections in the illegally occupied Balochistan region and subsequent protests were successful, Nawaz Sharif remains the Prime Minister of Pakistan.
It's no surprise that such a candidate would win in an election campaign wrought with brazen violence and corruption.  Nawaz Sharif has thus far demonstrated a very hard line approach to Balochistan and will most likely continue to oppose Baloch independence.

Pakistani military opens fire on Baloch civilians

Pakistani forces have become so brazen that today about an hour ago Baloch Republican Party activist Ali Ahmad Baloch was seriously wounded in indiscriminate firing of Pakistani para-military forces in Noshki.  Also today Pakistani gunship helicopter opened fire on Baloch civilians in Kech Balochistan.  Large numbers of ground troops also also amassing in in 'Shapuk' Balochistan to conduct further genocidal operations.

These types of massacres can no longer be tolerated.  Western nations have invaded stronger nations over less.  Not only are Western governments watching this tragedy unfold, but are financing it as well through billions of dollars in foreign aid which never actually aids anyone except the self-serving politicians of Pakistan.  Genocide can no longer be tolerated.  Help the people of Balochistan, petition and protest your regional and national governments, persuade the elected officials to intervene and end this crisis.

Boycott Corrupt Pakistani Elections on May 11th 2013

NewsTimes.com Pakistan's minorities have no faith in democracy

Pakistani government is built upon a foundation of corruption and extremism.  The entire political system in Pakistan has been mired in corruption for such a long time now that it has become impossible for any true opposition to gain a political foothold.  For too long did wealthy nations support the extremist government in Pakistan.  They have been allowed to oppress most any serious opposition into near non-existence.
