The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) on April 2 highlighted the difficulties in verifying the cases of forced disappearance in Balochistan, urging all concerned to play their role in documenting such cases to ensure that no forced disappearance case escaped attention, those in unlawful detention were freed and the illegal practice brought to an end, reports Daily Times. A statement issued by the HRCP says, it is a matter of concern that forced disappearances still continue in Pakistan. The HRCP has been trying to verify and document cases of forced disappearances for years now and has no hesitation in admitting that verification of the actual number, particularly in Balochistan, has been quite difficult and sometimes impossible. The nationalists claim the figure is in thousands and the people must respect their views. The authorities have put the number from scores to several hundred, which obviously is an understatement.

The Chief Minister (CM) Aslam Raisani said on April 4 that the Federal Government and its bureaucracy were not mindful of the seriousness of the Balochistan issue, allowing foreign countries to interfere in the Province, reports Dawn. He said, “Islamabad does not understand the importance of the Balochistan issue” and this attitude was encouraging the anti-Pakistan elements to misguide jobless Baloch youths. Other countries were spending money to achieve their nefarious designs, he added. The CM said the Federal Government was not providing funds for the departments devolved to his province under the 18th Amendment. There was no provision in the 18th Amendment or the NFC Award that the provinces would bear all expenditures of the departments transferred to them, he added. Raisani said all provinces, including Balochistan, had pleaded on the eve of the NFC award and the 18th Amendment that they would not bear expenditures of devolved departments. “If the federal government does not accept this principle, it should take back the Gwadar port and other devolved departments.” He said the Aghaz-i-Haqooq-i-Balochistan package, under which the Chief Minister was made chairman of the Gwadar Development Authority, was not fully implemented so far.

The Supreme Court (SC) on April 5 ordered the Balochistan Police and Levies to investigate into dumping of bullet-riddled bodies in various parts of the province and compensates the aggrieved families, reports Daily Times. The Balochistan Inspector General of Police (IGP) was also ordered to take action or arrest the provincial ministers involved in kidnappings for ransom. A three-member bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry issued these orders while hearing a constitutional petition filed by the Balochistan High Court Bar Association regarding law and order situation in the province. The bench also comprised Justice Khilji Arif Hussain and Justice Tariq Pervez. Police submitted Balochistan Home Minister Zafar Zehri’s statement about the involvement of Ministers in kidnappings for ransom. However, the Minister had not disclosed the names of the Ministers in his statement. The court ordered the IG to collect Zehri’s both statements that he gave to the Police and media and take action against the ministers. The court said the minister could be disqualified if his statement were wrong.

Elsewhere, the Chairman of the Hinglaj Mata temple, Maharaj Ganga Ram Motiyani, was abducted from the Lasbela District on April 6, reports The Hindu. Members of the Hindu community protested outside the Karachi Press Club on April 8 alleging that the abduction of Maharaj was a conspiracy. Community leaders say the Chairman was abducted to sabotage the pilgrimage which attracts devotees from various parts of the world. Abduction-for-ransom is being ruled out by the community as Maharaj Motiyani is not a rich man.

The Supreme Court (SC) said on April 6 there was no difference between a human being and animals in Balochistan where mutilated bodies were found on a daily basis, reports Daily Times. “I think I should stay in Quetta for a month,” said Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, as a three-member SC bench resumed the hearing of a case concerning the poor security and human rights situation in Balochistan. Following the chief justice’s directive, Quetta Police produced four of seven ‘missing’ people of the Marri tribe in the court. The seven people were picked up during a raid in Quetta’s Sariab Mill area on March 1 and had been listed ‘missing’ since then. Police, who had earlier been declining having information about the missing persons, produced four of seven people. The four were Hazar Khan, Mazar Khan, Malik Sher and Javed Marri. Justice Chaudhry suspended New Sariab SHO Noor Baksh Mengal for his false statement about the missing persons and directed Police to arrest him. The Chief Justice said he would also suspend the Balochistan IGP if the remaining three missing persons were not produced before the court by April 9. Frontier Corps (FC) Inspector General Major General Ubaidullah Khan Khattak also appeared before the court and rejected charges against his force.

Balochistan Chief Minister Aslam Raisani on April 8 accused some elements in policy-making machinery in Islamabad of indirectly helping the elements trying to break up Pakistan by not implementing announcements and promises made by President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, reports Dawn. According to official sources, Mr Raisani made the remarks during a meeting with Finance Minister Dr Abdul Hafiz Sheikh and said these elements were destabilising the federation and fuelling hatred between federating units and the centre. He said that if Balochistan seceded from Pakistan it would not be because of a handful of extremists challenging the State. He said he would blame the attitude of policy-makers and bureaucrats in Islamabad for paving the way for the success of extremists. The Chief Minister said the Aghaz-i-Haqooq-i-Balochistan package was not being implemented in letter and spirit. Mr Raisani, who has been criticising the Federal Government for the past few days, accused the policy-makers of deliberately ignoring important projects in Balochistan and delaying release of funds.

The continuous spilling of blood in sectarian killings in Quetta, the provincial capital of Balochistan, and Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) is a result of failure to address religious intolerance in society, the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) said on April 11, reports Daily Times. In a meeting, the commission said, “HRCP is alarmed by the continuing sectarian bloodshed in Pakistan, particularly in Quetta and GB. The killings demonstrate a disturbing pattern and appear to be part of a well-planned sequence. It has been stated that miscreants from Afghanistan have been involved. That may be one problem, but it certainly is not the only one. The mindless bloodshed that we witness day in and day out is rooted in religious intolerance cultivated by the state.” It also said, “The people are paying the price of indifference with their lives. Rather than wasting time on addressing mere symptoms, the root cause of the problem must be identified and addressed. Instead of living in denial, we must now identify the policies that strengthen extremism and promote faith-based hatred in society. These constitute the single biggest threat to Pakistan.”

Former President General Pervez Musharraf on April 15 said that as long as Pakistan Army was there, Balochistan could not be separated from Pakistan, reports Daily Times. Addressing retired army officers organisation ‘Pakistan First’ over the video link on situation in Balochistan, the leader of All Pakistan Muslim League and former Army Chief said Balochistan Liberation Army is an organisation of militants supported by foreign elements and targeting non locals in the province. He regretted that some politicians were supporting the separatists for political gains. Musharraf said out of 160 tribes in the province, only Sardars of three namely Bugti, Marri and Mengal wanted separation of Balochistan for their vested interests and they had the backing of forces involved in destabilising Pakistan. He said Talal Bugti, Shahzeb Bugti and others were in contact with the foreigners for this purpose. He said only four percent of Pakistan’s population lives in Balochistan and 60 percent among it had rejected the separatists.

The Bugti tribe leader, Nawab Aali Bugti on April 15 blamed the national and international oil companies are equally responsible for creating unrest in Balochistan besides the Government, the intelligence agencies and the law enforcement agencies, reports The Express Tribune. Mastan Bugti, a spokesperson for the Bugti chief, said that besides the Frontier Constabulary (FC), oil companies continue to play a negative role in Dera Bugti as they deprive the Baloch of their legitimate political and economic rights. Aali’s main complaint is that as the head of his tribe, he has not been paid his due share in the huge income earned by oil and gas companies exploiting the rich petroleum reservoirs of the tribal region, according to Mastan. According to Mastan, these very subordinates have compromised the economic rights of the Bugti tribes for personal gain. “Such selfish people always suited the establishment and the oil companies as they happily serve their interests for a little money,” he added.

The National Assembly Human Rights Committee (NAHRC) was told on April 18 that more than 650 Shias in Quetta (Balochistan) and 450 in Dera Ismail Khan (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) were targeted and killed recently, reports Daily Times. Mohammad Amin Shahidi, Deputy General Secretary of Wahdatul Muslimeen, a Shia organisation, informed the committee that more than 650 Shias in Quetta and 450 in Dera Ismail Khan were targeted and killed recently. He claimed that not a single person was arrested for the killings, adding that few people who were arrested in the aforementioned cases were released on bail. Shahidi said such incidents of lawlessness, hardships in getting justice created frustration among the Shia community, adding that the country’s law and order situation would further deteriorate if the desperate Shias took up arms. The NAHRC was also told that some ‘hidden forces’ were responsible for the killings of Shias in different parts of the country. The committee members agreed that there was no sectarian clash between the Shias and the Sunnis, observing that clerics of both sides agreed to restore peace in Gilgit-Baltistan, Dera Ismail Khan (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) and Quetta (Balochistan). However, the committee said the law enforcement agencies, Police and intelligence agencies had completely failed to control such incidents and identify the culprits.

Police said that Kahlil had been beheaded and a note on his body said he was killed after his captors’ demands were not met. “It’s inappropriate to go into the details of any contact we might have had with the abductors,” Maguire told the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) radio. There has been no claim of responsibility for Dale’s abduction or killing. Senior Quetta Police Official Tariq Manzoor said that the note recovered from Dale’s body was unsigned, contrary to what he said on April 29 when he claimed the note was from the Taliban. “There was some confusion,” Manzoor said. Without a signature, Police Officials “concluded that this is from Taliban,” he added. After Dale’s abduction, Manzoor said, Police traced a call in which the abductors demanded USD 30 million for his release. “The call came from Afghanistan and we all suspected the captors are Taliban,” he added.
