Subject: Appeal for British Intervention in Balochistan
Dear Mr. Prime Minister,
We would like to draw your attention to the cold blooded murders of Baloch political activists by the Pakistani Military in recent months. According to verifiable reports from different human rights organizations, the Pakistani Military Intelligence and Inter Services Intelligence agencies picked dozens of political activists and took them to unknown destinations. They were tortured whilst under military detention. After some days their dead bodies were thrown over desolate places. The Asian Human Rights Commission in its report issued on 24^th of this month has given the horrifying details of extrajudicial killings and other brutalities being perpetrated by the Pakistani army in Balochistan.
Whereabouts of thousands of the Baloch are still unknown. Pakistani govt. officials have accepted of more than 1000 missing person themselves last year and we genuinely believe that their lives are in grave danger. Abductions of students, doctors, teachers, journalists and human rights activists are going on daily basis in Balochistan. The Chief Minister of Balochistan, the Governor of Balochistan, the Prime Minister of Pakistan and the President of Pakistan have admitted the worsening human rights situation in Balochistan and have shown their helplessness against Pakistani army and its notorious Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) and Military Intelligence (MI) agencies. The Pakistani military establishment has created numerous religious terrorist organizations as proxy “Hit Squads” and with the help of these organizations consisting of dacoits and robbers and working with different nomenclatures is fully determined to physically eliminate the Baloch political and human rights activists. A large number of prominent Baloch social, intellectual and political figures have been targeted and eliminated by these hit squads.

Mr. Prime Minister,
Keeping in mind the extensive links of this country with the Pakistani State Establishment, we believe that the British government is well aware of the heinous crimes being committed by the Pakistani State establishment in Balochistan. The Baloch are facing a systematic genocide. They need urgent help from the civilized and democratic world. We hope that the honorable Prime Minister may kindly take a personal interest in pushing for a thorough and independent international investigation into the cold-blooded murders of the Baloch nationalist leaders and other serious abuses of human rights and humanitarian laws by the Pakistani Army in Balochistan.

We believe that no individual or state should be above International Laws. Those who are responsible for grave violation of human rights must be held accountable. We demand that in order to bring justice to the Baloch people the Government of Great Britain should use its influence for the stationing of an international peacekeeping force in Balochistan to save a whole nation from being wiped out systematically. Failing to do so is letting down a people who are being minced under the powerful jaws of the military establishment of a recognized rogue state.

We request that this petition be taken as an urgent humanitarian appeal.

Yours faithfully
Samad Baloch
General Secretary
Baloch Human Rights Council (UK)
