Quetta, May 6 (ANI): The Baloch Republican Party has appealed to the "international community, human rights organisations, the European Union and the civilised nations to take notice of the worst war crimes by Pakistani forces", and demanded that they "send fact-finding missions to Balochistan to expose the genocide of the Baloch by the state of Pakistan", a press release said.
According to the press release, random abductions and extra-judicial killings of the Baloch are on the rise in the province.
The Baloch Republican Party said that while on one hand Pakistani officials and the Supreme Court claimed that they were making efforts to recover Baloch missing persons and to stop the dumping of decomposed bodies, security forces on the other hand, continued to abduct, torture and extra-judicially kill them, reports the Daily Times.
According to the press release, law enforcers recently raided many houses in Dera Bugti and harassed women and children.
They allegedly abducted two Baloch- Afzal Bugti and Shakoor Bugti, who were brutally victimised. Their only crime was to record the video evidence of the mutilated body of one of their relatives, Sabzal Bugti.
Sabzal was killed by security forces in a military offensive in Singseela area of Dera Bugti. A woman and her child were also killed when they stepped on a landmine in the area. The press release said the residents are threatened by the security forces to quit the area so that they could pave the way for multi-national oil and gas companies.
Drinking water sources like lakes and wells are poisoned and landmines are laid all over the area to force the residents to flee the area. The Baloch Republican Party described these as "the worst war crimes being committed in Balochistan by security forces". (ANI)
