Torture is one of the worst crimes against humans, but is still prevalent worldwide. The Amnesty International asked ten well-known people to write a letter to President Obama against torture; the ten were joined by this writer who draws the president's attention to the appaling situation in Pakistani occupied Baluchistan.

President Barrack Obama, who has promised a new dawn for humanity, is said to read 10 hand-picked letters every day to get a glimpse of what's on people's minds and in their hearts.

Amnesty International has compiled powerful letters written by 10 influential thinkers – from an exiled poet to a former military interrogator to an esteemed actor and activist – that boldly make the case against torture

Torture degrades humanity to bestiality. It must stop everywhere, including Occupied Baluchistan.

The torture must end. Obama must not back away from this problem even though he would like to do so. And Bush and Cheney must me held accountable for the torture that they instituted and the wars they started.

the worst thing is govt. high personal involved in all these activities, specially in the occupied balochistan side... govt brutally killing our people at the pakistan occupied side for the reason of demostrating against illegal occupancy... and at iran side they execute by hanging...

balochistan was a seperate independent country, it was illegally occupied in 1948 by pakistan, iran and small portion by afghanistan... we want our land to be free... independent... one can find balochistan between british india (india), persia (iran) and afghanistan in a pre-pakistan map

really appreciate the support of United Nation Organization (UNO) ...

This movie clip was made in Afghanistan and launched against Taliban of Swat. I personally condemn Taliban they are a plague on Pakistan. But I also condemn who are supporting Taliban from outside Pakistan and are playing the dirty game of destroying Pakistan’s repute. Very recently a German man killed a Muslim woman in the court by stabbing her 18 times with a knife. Her husband came to protect her and take the stabs on him and the guard present in court shot her husband. His statement was that he thought the husband was a killer. The did not shoot the German attacker but managed to shoot the rescuer......... No one in the western media talks about it........ In my humble opinion there are two types of Terrorists. A certain type of Taliban and the modern westerner extremests who want to impose their way of life on the world.......
