Comment in question 06-11-2008 20:31 Human rights activists on terrorism char Peter Tatchell. the voice for the voice less, God always blesses you. As a generalist and human rights activist, he is truly representing the Baloch prospective in this article, which may not be readily available through Pakistani state media. Facts: Balochistan was annexed against the will of Baloch people 60 years ago into Pakistan. Facts: Balochistan is rich in natural resources, its resources have been exploited by force for the last six decades, Baloch people themselves have not seen their natural resources benefit. Facts: Balochistan is the most backwards, impoverished, illiterate, and underdeveloped province compared to the rest of the provinces of Pakistan; dominate province of Punjab, Sindh and North West Frontier Provinces. It is important to note Balochistan has rich-natural resources with less than 10 million people. With 43% of its land covering Pakistan. Facts: Baloch people have been oppressed from the day they were occupied. Facts: When ever their genuine leaders stood up for their rights in their own land, Pakistani forces executed, assassinated, and killed the Baloch leaders. Fact: Since the 2005 military operations till now many innocents Baloch families women, children, and old have been victims of an ongoing attempt of genocide, Baloch activists and students are disappearing and jailed without any fair trials. Facts: Balochi language lecturers from the University of Balochistan are being arrested and jailed. Baloch students are facing enormous problems in their schools, colleges and universities due to lack of educational facilities and they have been denied admission. Baloch youth are facing mountains of educational problems. These are state created problems in their attempt to halt the progression of Baloch youth, while the blame and onus is redirected to Baloch society and their powerless leaders. Pakistan is treating Balochistan as colony, Baloch people feel they have been treated as third class citizens in their own land, with such injustice why would Baloch people want to remain with Pakistan, a state who intentionally denies their political, economical, social, cultural, and linguistic rights for six decades. For that reason Baloch leader Nawabzada Hyrbyair Marri and activist Faiz Baloch are facing terrorist charges in the United Kingdom which is a direct cause of fabricated and false evidence provided by the Pakistani government. As a secular Baloch people never ever been against UK interest instead they have been protecting the democratic countries interest in their regions and see them as their allies. Baloch people are also victim of religious radicalism in their regions. Baloch activists are simply practicing their freedom of speech in civilized and democratic nations such the United Kingdom and other western nations whom are trying to bring the Balochistan human rights violations to the world’s attention. Pakistani government itself produced thousands Taliban’s from Balochistan Maddressas in the 1980’s and on onwards these religious schools are being funded by the Pakistan whom has gotten the un-conditional financial support from United States of America. On the other hand the Pakistani government is supporting the Kashmir people struggle for their self-determination internationally, than why the same state is blindly ignoring the Baloch legitimate and legal national struggle. Baloch people strongly believe That is the moral duty of international community to look at the Baloch problem from the Baloch prospective not through their aggressors Pakistan and Iran, who forcefully occupied their land and has been oppressing their people because Baloch has no voice in their parliament, state media, academic and intellectuals circles who have been perpetuating the Balochistan crisis and presenting their versions of one sided story.
