Great Pakistani Leader Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto in Security Council (15th Dec 1971)
sourced by Ahmar Mustikhan
Pakistan's largest circulation newspaper, The News International, has taken a serious view of Pakistan army's brutality and depravation and pointed out to the rape of women by soldiers in former East Pakistan led to the creation of Bangladesh in 1971.
The Hong Kong-based Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has come up with a shocking story that reveals the extent of brutality, depravation and discrimination in our land. The organization, in a statement, has given an account of the brutal rape of a Baloch woman who landed up in the custody of military authorities. Journalist and TV producer Munir Mengal, who himself spent over eight months in detention after being whisked away from Karachi airport and joining the ranks of the ‘disappeared’, has said (also recounted by Rahimullah Yusufzai in one of his columns for these pages) that he encountered the hapless woman at a detention centre in Karachi, where she was stripped naked and hurled into his cell. He was tortured when he refused to rape her – a fate she had already suffered multiple times at the hands of her captors.

It is shameful that humanity can be moved to such barbarism....such people cannot even be called humans....thay are like untamed dogs....if things like this really are happening they need to be given greater coverage...the leaders of our country need to be more courageous and morally responsible and take a stand to ensure the elimination of such blemishes.

weak have suffered throughout history regardless of their race, color or religion and in so many cases the perpetrators were not so different from them.
crime against humanity should be condemned regardless who is the victim and who is the perpetrator.. our criminal silence to one troy v another one is what keeps these things happening.

I personaly know what the poor balooch people have suffered at the hands of Barbarian Akbar Bugti how many Bugtis themselves were forced to leave Balochistan and seek refgue in Punjab due to the continued terror of these Baloch sardars.. of course this mustikhan will choose to ignore it.. wont you musti? I personally know few Bughtis who had to leave Balochistan because they chose and dared to differ the arrogant sardars.

Nawab Bugti, 79, was killed extra judicially by the Pakistan army. Pakistan is an unnatural country that harbors international terrorists. It must be dissolved so everyone in the world can live in peace.

Baloch People have suffered more at the hands of their own people rather than the Pakistan Military and the éxtra judicial killings by the Pakistan Army. Unfortunately for us, and conveniently for Mr. Mustikhan Bugti wasnt a hero and his repression of women and human rights abuses is quite well known. The anti pakistan sentiments of 'dissolving' a nation are quite obvious from the frustration of oneself not being able to pursue what one preaches. Dissolving Pakistan would worsen the situation as these 'terrorists' know how to take refuge and strike back!!!
Actually Mr. Mustikhan the problem with your writing is that you seem to mix your hatred of islam, paksitan, taliban, army all in one go... you seem to create relations between these links yet at the same time know fully well that it is the united states that has been the puppet master. Probably a small trip to the concerned offices at DC would open your eyes.
Being a Baloch myself, i rather find you a bigger bigot and fascist and more so a liar and hypocrite rather than the Taliban or Islamofascist. They have the guts to fight yet you are simply spewing out hatred the same way the Islamofascists do... look in the mirror and you will see an empty soul, or rather no sould at all... you are a bigger problem to balochistan rather than the Pakistan army...
