    Defenders of human rights in Balochistan in need of defence Angelika Pathak August 2011 List of contents 1. Attacks on newspapers, electronic media and abuses of individual journalists in Balochistan 1.1 Newspapers and electronic media 1.2 Abuses of individual journalists a. Arbitrary detention of journalists b. Harassment and ill-treatment of journalists c. Journalists subjected to enforced disappearance and extrajudicial execution d. Journalists subjected to enforced disappearance and released, reports of torture e. Journalists subjected to targeted killing f. Journalists inadequately protected while covering violence 2. Human rights abuses inflicted on lawyers in Balochistan 3. Human rights abuses inflicted on human rights activists in Balochistan 4. Recommendations to the Federal Government of Pakistan and the Provincial Government of Balochistan Executive summary Human rights defenders, i.e. persons who uncover human rights violations, bring them to public knowledge and campaign for redress for victims through peaceful and non-violent means, were in December 1998 placed been under the special protection of the international community when the General Assembly adopted the UN Declaration on Human Rights Defenders. It was the first UN instrument that explicitly recognizes the importance and legitimacy of the work of human rights defenders and lays down their right to effective protection. This commitment has not been honoured in Balochistan. Human rights defenders - be they journalists investigating and documenting wrongdoings of state agents, lawyers representing victims of human rights abuses in court or human rights activists campaigning to end human rights violations – have been subjected to a range of human rights violations themselves. They have been harassed, arbitrarily arrested and detained, subjected to enforced disappearance, torture and extrajudicial killings.

    j_¨÷ ~ „ ( I ¹F,Å yñ t‹ {Zzg ^,Y q- Zg:Z Š™ » æ), *y{ gzW ÉËZe ** ; w° ËZe Abstract This paper aims at critically examine and investigate the role of Mir Ghaus Bakhsh Bizenjo in the progressive politics of Balochistan. The paper also highlights brief history of the process of incorporation of the Kalat state (Kalat Confederacy - Balochistan) into the Pakistani federation. It discusses, but very briefly, the history of the Kalat state and its downfall into the hands of the British and then its incorporation into Pakistan. The main argument of the paper is that Mir Ghaus Bakhsh Bizenju was a pragmatic politician and was able to change with the changing circumstances. He proved to be the real political leader of the depressed people of Balochistan in particular and Pakistan in general. However, this paper has also highlighted some regrets of Mir's political role in the last days of his life. sg¬ ƒ ā ì ix Ñ 6,VŒ ñY Å ]!*Å æ),j _¨÷ā ¬ Ð Zk 7© : Ï( Zzg ÌZ Å "ß ZzgZk ñY Å ]!*Å yñ /߬ Ð ÔìZz Ô®‚ +÷ hZ R,ÔzZ êv WsZ ;gE- ´ K ðW hZ *Z öZ ö WsZ Ú * yÎ0*yÔ ñ Ô´ E ga7102Y â 6102YD ',ÆZ ïGL ¢p z õg@*C ________________________________________ 251 ]Ãz ³Ð öZa õg@* Zzg ¯ ù z » yÎ0*/ßt ā ñY ¬Š t Æ™ ? ; Zgg Š™ H ~ „ ( :*6,x¸Å yñ » r# ™÷ J- X ;g º æLG%i Æ Vƒ÷ VZzg âZx Z¸ » yñ Ð pÒ ]g@* X÷ t ëZ ~ ñgZ )3( ( 227-651 AD {)÷7‚‚ )2( (550-3238 BC ) WgZ \ )1( ˆ Æ (ZzgZk 632-750 AD )[² 4( () 489-690 AD |) s {W ÷ ā J- VŒ }uzŠ Xìg D™ #Ö Ó 6,yñ Zyx Zzg à }g‚ ¹ Vñ* Zà yñ ~ õg@*X1;g º æLG%i Æ 6¤',yñ J- 1839-1947 Zzg å í gz ¢ x* » Zk ~ äâi Æ WgZ \ 6,gî Æ wV ì ŠHH Šc*Ð Zzw

  • The Baluch Insurgency: Linking Iran to Pakistan by Zia Ur Rehman
    Report May 2014 The Baluch insurgency: linking Iran to Pakistan By Zia Ur Rehman Executive summary The Sistan and Baluchistan Province of Iran has long been associated with instability and armed conflict. The two million largely Sunni Muslim Baluch living in the province have suffered sustained racist persecution and discrimination in predominantly Shia and Persian-speaking Iran. Analysts claim that lack of development and cultural and religious repression in Sistan and Baluchistan have encouraged popular support for the insurgency among the Baluch community. Iran claims that the main bases of the two main Baluch insurgents groups, Jundullah and Jaish-ul Adl, are in Pakistan’s Baluchistan Province, which shares a 1,165-kilometre border with Iran. Iranian forces are increasingly carrying out cross-border attacks against these groups, straining relations between Iran and Pakistan and possibly fuelling sectarian violence in both countries. Pakistan is battling its own Baluch separatist insurgency. It is feared that the mistreatment of the Baluch community on both sides of the border could lead to an alliance between religiously motivated anti-Iranian Sunni militant groups and the various secular Pakistani Baluch separatist groups. Iranian Baluch militants groups are not only causing an increasing internal security crisis in Iran, but are also threatening to become the key to the survival of the Taliban on the Iran-Pakistan-Afghanistan border. The Baluch in Iran and Pakistan: Persian state in Iran that enshrined ethnic suppression, historical context forcing the Baluch community to fight to protect their rights The Baluch are the indigenous people of the Baluchistan under Iranian rule (UNPO, 2010).

  • Repression and Revolt in Balochistan the Uncertainty and Survival of a People’S National Aspirations
    FEATURE Repression and Revolt in Balochistan The Uncertainty and Survival of a People’s National Aspirations ZEUS HANS MENDEZ ife with historical tensions, the region of Balochistan has erupted into insurrections against the Pakistani state since 1948. Convinced of being historically wronged, the Baloch view their fight as one against repression Rand for self- determination. Though residing in the same region, the ethnic iden- tity of the Baloch has remained in sharp contrast to the ultranationalism that defines the Pakistani state. Therefore, the Pakistani security forces, who see many of the Baloch nationalist groups as terrorists, have crushed any opposition or de- mand for reform. This, in addition to a deteriorating human rights scenario has further cemented Baloch opposition against Pakistan. Across the border in Iran, the Baloch face a similar fate, with extreme deprivation and marginalization by the Iranian theocracy. While undoubtedly possessing unique identities and aspi- rations, repression and ignorance on both sides of the border have resulted in a common desire for liberation. However, the fact that an international border separates two distinctive Baloch communities, one motivated by secular aspira- tions and the other by Sunni Islam, any progress toward a unified front is hin- dered. Drawing on such dynamics, this article will seek to highlight the fact that even though the fight for Balochistan is one of international significance, most observers have ignored the situation, leaving the Baloch in a drawn- out insur- gency with no support and an increased feeling of uncertainty. In this context, many have termed the Baloch freedom movement as dying or dead.
