Occupied Balochistan: Pakistani security forces have abducted four Baloch men, four women along with six children on Friday evening. According a statement released by Baloch Women Panel, four Baloch men, four women along with six children have been abducted by the Frontier Corps (FC) and secret agencies of Pakistan while they were travelling from Marwar to Quetta by a passenger Pickup. The statement quoted witnesses as saying “Frontier Core (FC) has stopped the Pickup and abducted four men, four women along with their six children, the victims belong to Marri Baloch tribe. The forces have shifted all women and children to an undisclosed location and their whereabouts are still unknown.”Terming the abduction of four Baloch women and their six children a NATIONAL TRAGEDY the BWP has urged the Baloch nation to rise against such unethical, inhuman and brutal actions of the state. The Baloch Women Panel said “today the Pakistani security forces are abducting Baloch women while they travel but if we keep silence tomorrow they will come into our houses and abduct or kill our women.” The Women Panel statement further said that Pakistani security forces have intensified violent actions against Baloch villagers in Marwar, PeerSmail, Margat and surrounding regions after the successful attack on their check-posts by Baloch freedom fighters. The Pakistani security forces are setting houses and crops on fire, they are also looting valuable and livestock of residents. “All such brutalities and savageness of Pakistan military goes unnoticed because of the lack of media presence and the negligence of state-sponsored Pakistani media”, said the BW statement. It must be noted that Pakistani military and other security agencies have already abducted and killed hundreds of Baloch youth under-custody and dumped their bodies in deserted areas across Balochistan. However, the recent and sudden increase in state violence against Baloch women and children illustrates the very nature of Pakistani security forces and reminds the history of Bangladesh, where in 70s Pakistan’s Islamic Army had raped and brutally killed thousands of Bengali Women. The gruesome murder of Brahumdagh Bugti’s sister and niece, indiscriminate bombardment of villages in Kohistan Marri and Dera Bugti are clear indications that Pakistan will continue her savageness not only against Baloch men but Baloch women and children will also be indiscriminately massacred.In recent past fanatic groups, support by Pakistan army, have splashed acid on faces of Baloch girls and female school teachers. BalochWarna urges the United Nation, Amnesty International, Human Right Watch, Women Rights Groups and Children Rights Groups to play their due by pressurising Pakistan to stop violence against the Baloch women and children. International Human Rights Groups should urge Pakistan to immediately release all women and children in the illegal custody of Pakistani security forces.
