Occupied Balochistan – Sister of Zakir Majeed Baloch, a missing leader of BSO-Azad has demanded of the human rights organisations to play their role for the early recovery of disappeared Baloch persons including her brother.“All Baloch missing persons including my brother should be treated under Geneva Convention and they should be recovered,” she demanded this while addressing a press conference at Quetta Press Club on Sunday.She said Zakir Majeed was a student and senior vice chairman of Baloch Students Organisation (Azad) who had been whisked away by secret agencies on June 8, 2009 from Mastung.“We have no information about his whereabouts since he went missing,” she said adding, her family was passing through mental torture and worried about his life.She said that her brother had never been involved in any unlawful activity and urged that if he had committed any crime, he should be produced before a court of law so that he could prove his innocence instead of keeping him in torture cells.“We have adopted all democratic means to register our protest including holding rallies and observing hunger strikes but all in vain,” she added.Referring to the commission formed to find out missing persons, she said that they had lost trust in commissions since these were aimed at prolonging the issue. She said more than 200 decomposed bodies of Baloch missing persons had been recovered and if hectic efforts were not made for rest of the missing persons’ recovery they would also be killed.She appealed Amnesty International and other humanitarian organisations for taking notice of the killing of Baloch missing persons and dumping their tortured bodies at different localities.Responding to a question, she said had humanitarian organisations exerted pressure on Pakistani government against violation of human rights, lives of 200 missing persons whose bullet-riddled bodies were found, could be saved.
