Long march in support of missing persons: Destination Geneva

• Chairman warns to approach international court of justice if no justice found in apex court

Voice of Baloch Missing Persons Chairman Naseer Ullah Baloch has warned that if the lingering issue of missing persons is not resolved till the long march arrives in Islamabad, the next destination of the long march will be Geneva.
Addressing a press conference at Balochistan House on Friday, he informed that around 100 bodies have been recovered from a mass grave in Khuzdar and from among them, three persons have been identified as the missing persons.
Citing the Khuzdar DC, who he said had claimed that 25 disfigured bodies had been recovered, Baloch said the actual figure is more than 100. He blamed that gun-fire was opened when the heirs tried to reach the mass grave. He blamed the access of media and human rights bodies have been denied to these graves.
He also claimed that mass graves had also been recovered in Pishin and Panjgor, and further claimed the existence of torture cells of a local death squad near these graves. He said, “We moved to Supreme Court but the Balochistan government and the lawyers of the secret agencies are causing unnecessary delays to these cases and presenting wrong facts and figures in the apex court”.
He slammed the United States and human rights organisations for their silence over the state of affair. He blamed that the agencies, in actuality, are running the affairs in Balochistan. He called for stepping down of the Balochistan government as well.
The chairperson showed no confidence in the commissions constituted for the recovery of the missing persons, blaming that the statement recorded for the missing persons was often found missing from the record.
Coming hard at Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, who he said made a false promise with them for the recovery of missing persons, he blamed him for supporting the secret agencies in the SC.
Saying that the long march had reach Multan, he alleged that the participants, women and children among them, are being given tough time by the secret agencies.
