If Pakistan were to line 'em up and shoot, would the murders of Baloch receive more attention?

screenshot from NYTimes of Pakistan execution videoWhen I started to write this essay on November 4, I was aware of seven extrajudicial kill and dump murdersthat required logging in my database of Baloch missing. Within hours, four additional dump and kills and one death by beating were tweeted. The beating victim was female, Pazo Bibi--'collateral' damage in her brother's war, following a raid on the family home by the Pakistani military. On Saturday, the tortured and bullet-riddled body of journalist Javed Rind was discovered on a roadside.
