Some two hundred workers and activists of Baloch Student Organisation (Azad) staged a protest rally on Saturday, blaming intelligence agencies’ personnel for the abduction of their central office bearer Shafiq Baloch. Participants gathered in front of the Quetta Press Club and raised slogans against security forces and the government.
They urged the international human rights organisation to take notice of this brutal act. Speakers said intelligence agencies’ personnel were abducting the armless Baloch youth and activists of BSO (Azad). They said the innocent Baloch youth was being tortured and killed in agencies’ cells, while their dead bodies were thrown in isolated places. They said thousands of political activists were still languishing in torture cells.
They claimed that forces forcibly captured Balochistan’s soil and Islamabad was looting and plundering the Baloch resources. They also accused Baloch nationalists like Balochistan National Party (mengal), Balochistan National Party (Awami) and National Party for playing second fiddles to the establishment for countering Baloch insurgency in the province. They said Balochistan had decided not to budge from its stand and its just struggle for freedom.
