On Wednesday August 14th, after 1240 days of
hunger strike demonstrations in Quetta, the Protest Camp for Families of
Missing Persons was burned and ransacked by Pakistan Security Forces. The camp was founded by Mama Abdul Qadir
Baloch after his son Jalil Reki (a leader of BRP) was abducted in 2009. Jalil’s bullet riddled body was recovered 2
years later in 2011. Since its inception 3 years ago, the camp has been home to the families of victims of abductions and extra-judicial killings. Only days before the attack, Mama Qadir had received
death threats by Pakistan Security Agents who demanded the camp be dismantled.
August 16th, in the town of
Mach, Pakistan Armed Forces deployed a helicopter gunship during a ruthless assault
on the Mach residents. 10 civilians were
killed and dozens injured in Friday’s attack.
On Saturday Naveed s/o Saleh Mohd was abducted on Makran
Coastal Highway near Gwadr. Naveed was a
resident of the nearby town of Pishukan.
In Satellite Town, Quetta, one
person was shot by unidentified gunmen.
Pakistan Armed Forces continue their vicious rampage in Dera
Bugti regions through the weekend conducting operations in RD 238, Muhan Patt
and Deenari Patt. Pakistani Soldiers are
conducting loot and burn operations, indiscriminately firing upon Baloch
civilians. Several Baloch have been killed and many abductions have been reported. Sunday August 18th
the disfigured remains of 2 previously abducted BRP activists have been
discovered in Sui. One of them has been
identified as Ismail Bugti. Ismail was
abducted by Pakistani agents on August 14th in the Zenkoh region of
Dera Bugti.
Much like the attacks in Bolan on August 11th, the
Pakistani Forces have been dumping previously abducted and murdered Baloch activists
while conducting loot and burn operations in order to justify both; the ongoing
attacks on civilian villages, and the murders of the abductees by falsely
labelling their victims as insurgents and terrorists. Reports of killings and abductions continue to surface from the Dera Bugti regions as the Pakistani Death Squads continue their destructive
rampage.
