PAKISTAN: The people of Balochistan have to bury the mutilated bodies of their loved ones almost every day of the week

The disappearances and extrajudicial killings of Baloch activists continue despite claims from the government and security forces that extrajudicial killings have been stopped. The writ of the state is at its minimal and all the responsibilities of maintaining law and order have been left with security forces and banned militant groups. A new civilian organization with the name of Tehreek-e-Nefaz-e-Aman Balochistan (TNAB) was allegedly established by the state intelligence agencies which claim the killings of political workers and students in the name of maintaining peace. During the last six months it has allegedly killed more than six activists from Balochistan and determined to continue its killings in the future. http://www.humanrights.asia/news/ahrc-news/AHRC-STM-021-2012
