The Hong Kong based Asian Human Rights Commission in a report alleged that baning of Jeay Sindh Muttahida Mahaz (JSMM) and the Baloch Student Organisation – Azad (BSO-Azad) was an effort to mislead the international community and prove her loyalty toward the extremist Taliban.
The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) said in its report on 5 April that it has received information that the government of Pakistan, in an effort to show the international community that it is taking action against the fundamentalist and religious terrorist organizations, has revealed its continued loyalties towards the Taliban and similar terrorist groups by banning the three secular and nationalist organizations including a student organization from Balochistan.
The report alleged, “The religious terrorist groups have always remained dear to the state and its intelligence agencies. It is no longer a secret that these groups are collecting funds on the streets and running terrorist recruiting centres in the cities including Islamabad, Karachi and Lahore. All these groups have received training from retired army officers who have been identified in the media and international reports. The governments and its intelligence agencies are well aware of the training centres and recruiting seminaries of these terrorist organizations but to-date no action has been taken.”
The AHRC said both the Baloch student Organisation – Azad and the JSMM were secular organisation working for the uplift of their oppressed nations – Sindh and Balochistan.

He expressed these views while talking to Online News. He said, “It is a proven fact and also Supreme Court accepted that abduction of Baloch youth and extra-judicial killings are the work of secret agencies.” The chief justice also ordered to register cases against the representatives of these institutions who are involved in abducting and killings of Baloch youth, he added.
Mr Baloch further said that IG police also submitted in his written report to the court which stated that secret agencies were involved in abductions. Balochistan police even submitted a video footage, which clearly showed that FC and agencies are loading Baloch youths in their vehicle in front of a hotel.

(By Archen Baloch) The chairman of the Voice for Baloch Missing Persons, Mr Nasrullah Baloch, told the media on Thursday that extra judicial killings, abduction of Baloch people and throwing their mutilated dead bodies on deserted areas is not a good example of civilized societies.
He said the International Media and Human Rights bodies were ignoring the plight of the Baloch people which is why the rights violations continue in Balochistan unabated.
He said Hakeem Bugti and Sanwal Bugti had been released, but Ali Bugti and Asgar Ali Bugti were still missing. These people were extra abducted by security forces a few days back from Jamshoro area of Khaiderabad city in Sindh. He said these people were among the Baloch IDPs who were forced to seek refuge in Sindh in 2006 when Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti was murdered by Pakistani forces.
“Three more people, Sanaulla, Jalil Ahmed and Naseer Ahmed have been arrested from Quetta,” Mr Baloch said, adding that the families including women and children of the disappeared persons have been constantly protesting but nobody listens to them.
