Press Release
London, Dated: 02/02/12
Baloch Human Rights Council
(UK) strongly condemns the vicious target killings of the sister and niece of Baloch Republican Party chief and respected Baloch nationalist leader Mir Brahamdag
Bugti by the Pakistani military intelligence assassins on Tuesday in Karachi.
The family driver of Dombki family was also killed in the attack.
The murdered ladies were the
wife and daughter of Mir Bakhtyar Dombki, a sitting MPA of Balochistan Assembly
and a respected member of Dombki tribe. Both Mir Dombki and his wife are
grand-children of Nawab Akbar Bugti who was killed by Pakistani army in an army
operation in 2006.
BHRC believes that this brutal
killing of highly respected Baloch women and children is the continuation of the
expressed policy of the Pakistani State to spread fear among the Baloch
resistance against Pakistani rule on Balochistan and to frustrate the Baloch
struggle for regaining their sovereignty. This immoral action on behalf of the
Pakistani intelligence agencies is also indicative of the moral standings of
the enemy which the Baloch are confronting.
Baloch Human Rights Council
(UK) believes that harming the civilians in a conflict is against all
recognised international norms and UN covenants. BHRC appeals to concerned
international authorities to take notice of this gruesome act. BHRC believes no
one is above international humanitarian laws and the Pakistani authorities
should not be treated as sacred cows.
BHRC is sending letters to all
national and international humanitarian organization and UN sponsored agencies
and appealing them to take this issue as a deliberate act of human right
violation of the Baloch and calling for appropriate actions be taken against
Pakistani authorities accordingly.
Samad Baloch
General Secretary
Baloch Human Rights Council (UK)
