Balochistan Pakistan's Balochistan made hell for political activists: Haq Do Tehreek
Balochistan: Haq Do Tehreek (Give Rights Movement) has claimed that Balochistan has been made hell for political activists, ANI reported quoting Pakistan vernacular media Qudrat.
According to Haq Do Tehreek, protest rallies for the release of Maulana Hidayatur Rahman and Mahil Baloch and the recovery of missing persons would be taken out across Balochistan.
It added that black bands would be tied on hands on the occasion of Eid to express solidarity with aggrieved families and condemn the government’s insensitivity on the issue.
Spokesperson of the movement, Hafiz Kayani, said that the situation in Balochistan is worse than in Palestine, according to Qudrat.
ANI reported quoting a recent report by Geo News that the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) has sounded alarm over growing public frustration pertaining to enforced disappearances, economic exclusion, curbs on press freedom, misgovernance and allegations of political manipulation by the establishment in Balochistan.
A HRCP-led fact-finding mission in October last year said that a palpable sense of anger was seen among ordinary citizens, many of whom even called Balochistan as a ‘colony’ of the state during meetings with the organisation, according to the news report.
The mission also raised concern about the state’s widespread use of enforced disappearances to stop dissent, a grievance echoed in numerous conversations, as per the Geo News report.
