Over 200 containers carrying supplies for NATO forces in Afghanistan started returning to Karachi from the border town of Chaman in Qilla Abdullah District on January 4, reported Daily Times. Official sources confirmed the return of NATO containers to Karachi, and added that they were not allowed to enter Afghanistan through Chaman border gate following the November 26, 2011 attack on Salala border post that killed 26 soldiers. The return of the NATO containers back to Karachi has come as relief for over 600 workers, including drivers, cleaners and helpers. “We were in a tense mental state as we had to stay at Chaman NATO terminal for the past few days,” a driver said.

As many as 14,362 people, including 150 women, have “disappeared” in Balochistan since 2001 and 370 mutilated bodies have been found in different parts of the province so far, The News reported quoting Qadeer Baloch, Vice President of Voice for Baloch Missing Persons on January 16. Sitting in a camp in front of the Karachi Press Club (KPC) in Karachi, the provincial capital of Sindh, since January 1, 2012 to protest against the “disappearances” of Baloch people, Qadeer said about 250,000 people from Marri and Dera Bugti areas had migrated to other provinces and even to Afghanistan since their lives were in danger. The Voice for Baloch Missing Persons has so far organised three protest camps outside the KPC, two in Islamabad and several in Quetta. “The precarious situation in Balochistan can be gauged from the fact that along with adults, 169 children are also missing,” Qadeer said. Speaking at a News Conference on International Human Rights Day at the KPC, Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) Chairperson Zohra Yusuf had said the establishment saw the problem of Balochistan as a “security issue” but it would not be fair to say it wanted to get rid of Balochistan. However, she went on to say that the Government in Balochistan was ineffective. HRCP figures about “missing” people were conservative as compared to claims made by Baloch nationalists. Yusuf said Baloch nationalists claimed that 5,000-7,000 people were “missing” in Balochistan, but HRCP figures were more conservative. “It is a matter of grave alarm that 107 new cases of enforced disappearance have been reported in Balochistan in 2011, and the ‘missing persons’ are increasingly turning up dead,” she added.

Referring to unspecified reliable sources reported that after volatile Balochistan, the situation in Gilgit-Baltistan has turned into a volcano that could erupt at any time, exposing hundreds of locals to violence, hatred and death. At present a great deal of unrest that is being witnessed among the residents of Gilgit-Baltistan representing various religious sects, including Deobandi, Shia, Sunni and Ismaili, could disrupt the law and order situation, triggering large-scale violence in the northern areas anytime. Sources said a large amount of illegal arms and ammunitions have been dumped in various parts of the region by various communities under the nose of the Government while administration had its eyes closed over the issue.

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.

The sectarian violence in Balochistan has claimed more than 400 lives in more than 200 incidents of ethnic and sectarian violence in the past four years. The decade-long insurgency recently turned into a battleground for politically motivated attacks on religious sects with banned outfit Lashkar-e-Jhangvi allegedly targeting the Shia and Hazara communities throughout the embattled province. The official report which covers a period of four years states that over 400 Shias and Hazaras, who account for nearly a fifth of the country’s 170 million population lost their lives as a result of the aggression. Around 100 pilgrims have been killed in just the first half of the current year. Another 450 people were injured in over 110 sectarian attacks from 2008 to 2011. The increasing trend of violence is alarming. Over 120 members of the Shia and Hazara communities were gunned down last year while close to a 100 sustained injuries, compared to 81 fatalities and 200 casualties in 2010. In 2009, 39 members of the Shia community were killed and 20 injured in over 30 incidents of ethnic violence, while only 15 were killed and 10 injured in 2008.

A workshop on ‘Media and Civil Society in Balochistan’ was informed on July 8 that the media in Balochistan was not free and journalists on professional duty often faced harassment at the hands of influential elements and different pressure groups active in the province, reports Dawn. According to figures presented at the workshop, at least 22 journalists have been killed in the province during the past four years. The Centre for Research and Security Studies (CRSS) had organised the workshop in collaboration with the Association for Integrated Development. CRSS executive director Imtiaz Gul said journalists faced challenges and difficulties in reporting and it was the duty of the state and non-state forces to spare the media from their rivalries and not to subject them to intimidation.

Federal Minister of Interior Rehman Malik on August 2 told the Senate that external aggression and world power game could not be ruled out in the Balochistan issue as the situation there was similar to that of East Pakistan in 1971, as he held the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) responsible for all the major terrorism and kidnapping activities in the province, reports The Nation. Malik said hostile elements were exploiting the indigenous issue of the Balochistan and there was a planned external aggression linked to regional security, adding that a roadmap had been prepared to disintegrate Balochistan. “We are a nuclear power and it is threat for the world,” he added. The Minister questioned whether there were no human rights violations in Punjab and why such issues were highlighted in Balochistan and why a US Congressman took up the matter of Balochistan? But he also answered these queries in the same breath and said it was because of a broader conspiracy. “We will have to find the solution before it is too late,” he said, adding that the slogan of an independent Balochistan was not a new phenomenon as similar movements were led by Nourez Khan in 1948-1950, Sher Mohammad Bijarani in 1963-69 and Kher Bukhsh Marri in 1973-78. He, however, claimed that the people of Balochistan trusted the Federation. “Baloch Separatists and nationalists have links with banned outfit, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and other proscribed organisations,” the Minister added. “LeJ is one of the main organisation that in support with the (BLA is involved in major terrorist activities in the province,” he added. Mentioning a number of incidents of terrorism, killings and kidnapping in the province, he said 299 IED explosions took place, 179 FC soldiers were killed and 502 incidents of abduction were reported in the area since 2010, while 89 policemen and 872 civilians were killed and 1,177 people injured. Malik said these figures were verifiable from provincial home department and intelligence agencies. He claimed that BLA was behind all these incidents. The minister alleged that the BLA was a killing machine and being controlled from Afghanistan, adding that terrorists from Afghanistan side crossed border and committed terror activities in Pakistan, while Maulvi Faqir Mohammad and Fazlullah were also hiding in Afghanistan. He told the house that Brahmdagh Bugti was involved in kidnapping of John Solecki, chief of the UN refugees’ office, and Hyrbyair Marri, while living in UK, used to make a call and people were killed in Balochistan. He, at the same time said, the BLA used to threaten the workers in Balochistan that were associated with different development projects there. Malik stressed that the problem of Balochistan was deprivation of the people of the area. “89 DMG posts and 50 PSP posts are lying vacant in the province,” he added. The Minister said there was a perception that the FC kidnapped and killed the people but the fact was the forces were there to protect the people of the area and borders. He said five per cent areas declared as ‘A’ in Balochistan were under the control of police and other areas marked as B under the control of levies.

Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) on the occasion of International Day of the Disappeared on August 30 said that during the tenure of the present Government, as many as 450 mutilated dead bodies have been recovered and over 1300 persons went missing in different areas of Balochistan Federal Government should take remedial steps to resolve the issue, reported Dawn. Chairperson HRCP Zohra Yusuf said that there is war like situation in Balochistan. Hazara Community is being killed by Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) and now Jama’at-ud-Dawa (JuD) has also started opening offices in Balochistan. She said that so far two activists of HRCP have been murdered in Balochistan which shows that commission is under threat. Meanwhile, a report quoting a fact finding mission of the HRCP on Balochistan stated that Talibanisation is growing in several areas of Balochistan and Security Forces might be patronising militants, turning Quetta into a haven for militants, reports The Express Tribune. The report observed that religious fanaticism was not being exported to the province from outside, rather it was being bred within Balochistan. A burgeoning network of madrassas was contributing to the aggravation of inter-sect tensions. It stated that militants have managed to establish training camps in the troubled province. According to the findings, there are multiple layers of violence and tensions prevailing in Balochistan. The crime wave engulfing urban parts of the province, its main highways is either a mark of collusion or utter incompetence of the authorities.
