What happened in Balochistan is not unexpected. For over a month now, elections offices and political candidates in different cities of the province were hit with small scale attacks. However, the two blasts today caused a lot of casualties. For WTV:
اسلام آباد میں بلوچستان سے آئے لاپتہ افراد کے لواحقین کے دھرنے میں پختون اور سندھی بھی شامل ہو رہے ہیں بوڑھے والدین دہائی دے رہے ہیں کہ جنہیں لاپتہ کیا گیا ہے انہیں عدالتوں میں پیش کرو ایک بہن نے کہاہمیں سردی میں سڑکوں پر بیٹھنے کا کوئی شوق نہیں ہمیں انصاف دیدو دہشت گرد نہ کہو
بلوچ لاپتہ افرادکےمتاثرین سخت موسم میں 18روز سے اسلام آباد پریس کلب کےباہردھرنا دیے بیٹھے ہیں۔۔ چاہتےہیں کہ ریاست انکے پیاروں کو عدالت میں پیش کرے۔
مگر نگران وزیراعظم کہتےہیں عدالت میں کیسے پیش کریں، عدالتیں سزائیں نہیں دیتیں چھوڑ دیتی ہیں۔
🔴PRESS RELEASE
Government must hear out Baloch protestors, release women jailed
Islamabad, 21 December 2023. The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) strongly condemns the violent state crackdown on Baloch citizens who have led a long march from Turbat to Islamabad in protest against the alleged extrajudicial killing of Balach Baloch and others in Turbat.
HRCP is appalled by the state’s response to peaceful protestors, with women, children and the elderly subjected to unwarranted force in the form of water cannons and use of batons. Numerous women protestors have reportedly been arrested and separated from their male relatives and allies. At least one Baloch woman journalist covering the long march has also been arrested.
This treatment of Baloch citizens exercising their constitutional right to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression is inexcusable. An obdurate state that responds to calls for the right to life, liberty and due process to be upheld, by resorting to force at every stage, is a state that has shed its constitutional and moral responsibility for protecting and fulfilling the rights of all citizens.
All those detained must be released immediately and unconditionally. We strongly urge the government to organize a delegation immediately to meet the protesters, give their legitimate demands a fair hearing and commit to upholding the rights of the Baloch people. The state’s widespread use of enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings also warrants a prompt and transparent investigation as well as a commitment to hold the perpetrators accountable.

اسلام آباد کی انتظامیہ نے بلوچ مظاہرین کے تربت ٹو اسلام آباد لانگ مارچ کو زبردستی اسلام آباد ٹو کوئٹہ میں بدل دیا۔ پہلے خواتین مظاہرین کو رہا کرنے کا دعوی کیا پھر انہیں زبرستی بسز میں بٹھاکر کوئٹہ روانہ کرنے کے جبری عمل کا آغاز کریا۔ تفصیلات دیکھیے
۔ڈاکٹر منظور بلوچ کو تربت یونیورسٹی کے گیٹ پہ روکنا،انہیں اندر نہ جانے دینا، ان کے ساتھ غیر اخلاقی رویہ اختیار کرنا قابل مذمت اور شرمناک فعل ہے۔ پروفیسر منظور بلوچ جو بلوچستان یونیورسٹی میں ایڈ آف ڈیپارٹمنٹ اور یونیورسٹی کے سینیٹ باڈی کا ممبر بھی ہے

The population of Balochistan was reduced by 67 lakh in the new census results.
Previously, Provincial Census Commissioner Balochistan, Noor Ahmed Pirkani had announced the population of Balochistan to be 21.5 million immediately after the census ended - now it is 14.8 million.
It is unclear why 6.7 million people are missing in the new census.
These census results will not only effect the electoral National Assembly Seats of Balochistan but effect the overall budget and livelihood of the people.
Stakeholders of Balochistan must speak on this.
Shocked to learn this young teacher, Abdul Rauf has been shot dead in Turbat. He was accused to blasphemy by religious group.
This is unprecedented for Makran region of Balochistan. As it has always been a very secular society where debate and religious tolerance been encouraged.
The murder of Abdul Rauf must be investigated.
