JWP leader Saleem Baloch has been released and Dr Safdar Sarki appeared from Pakistani
intelligence secret detention after 18 months torture.
Thanks for the good news that JWP leader Saleem Baloch has been released and Dr Safdar Sarki appeared from Pakistani intelligence secret
detention after 18 months torture. He has been transfered to a police station with a fabricated charge of carrying two Klashnicoves and hand granades
that means they want to produce him before the court of law as a terrorist. Thanks God that he has not been implicated in breaking in a house and
lifting gold like they have done in Dr Imdad Baloch's case or lifting a buffelo from Sindh.

CPJ expresses concern over abduction of journalist
10/13/2007
PESHAWAR: The Committee to Protect Journalists, a New York-based organisation, has voiced concern over abduction of Pakistani journalist Riaz
Mengal, a reporter for a regional newspaper in Khuzdar.
Mengal did not return home on October 4 and has not been seen since, according to a CPJ source and published reports. He had been receiving
threats urging him to stop pursuing his investigation into the stolen vehicle trade, those sources said.
“We urge the authorities in Balochistan to investigate this case and press for Mengal’s early recovery,” said CPJ Executive Director Joel Simon in a
statement received here on Friday from New York. “Disappearance and abduction represent increasing risks for journalists working in Pakistan, and
warrant immediate official response.”
In another Balochistan case, Menir Mengal has been missing since April 4. CPJ has expressed concern that Menir, an accountant, is being held for his
involvement in a planned Baloch-language television programme.—PR
Our correspondent adds: President Council of Pakistan Newspaper Editors (CPNE) Senator (retd) Syed Faseih Iqbal also strongly denounced
abduction of Riaz Mengal sometime back and demanded of the authorities to ensure his safe recovery immediately. In a statement issued here the
other day, the CPNE president said it is regrettable that the media persons are being subjected to such treatment in the society, and the government
most of the time seems oblivious to the situation. The worst examples of which were the incidents that took place in Islamabad and Peshawar.
He said that the kidnapping of Riaz Mengal is not tolerable, and he must be recovered immediately. The CPNE president said that the government
should ensure protection of the media persons guaranteeing true press freedom. It is the responsibility of the state to provide an environment
conducive to the media persons to perform their professional duties without any fear, he said.
Supreme Court asks govt to regularise ‘disappearances’
By Nasir Iqbal
ISLAMABAD, Oct 11: Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry on Thursday gave a concession to the government, allowing it to regularise the
‘disappearance’ of all the missing persons, but reiterated that the Supreme Court had substantial evidence that the people were in the custody of
intelligence agencies.
“We are deliberately exercising restraint due to the national interest and, therefore, openly asking the government to regularise the custody of the
missing persons,” the CJ observed, adding that the court would not be in a position to give the concession again.
At the last hearing, the CJ had warned of summoning the heads of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Military Intelligence (MI) and other agencies if the
missing people were not released.
The chief justice is heading a three-judge bench hearing pleas for recovery of the missing people.
Attorney-General Malik Mohammad Qayyum sought a meeting with the chief justice in his chamber to convey in private some sensitive information
regarding the missing people, saying that he could not divulge it in the open court. The chief justice ignored the request.
The AG told the court that 37 more people had been traced, taking the number of traced people to 181 out of a total of 416 missing. The number of
untraced people is 235.
Among those traced, 20 are from Punjab, 44 from Sindh, 23 from the NWFP, 90 from Balochistan and two from Islamabad.
Of the 235 untraced people, 177 are from Balochistan, 31 from Punjab, 12 from Sindh, 13 from the NWFP and two from Islamabad.
The progress was described by the court as unsatisfactory.
Defence Secretary Kamran Rasool, Interior Secretary Syed Kamal Shah and National Crisis Management Cell (NCMC) Director-General Javed Iqbal
Cheema were present in the courtroom.
The AG told the court that the government had been directed by the highest authority in the country to give priority to the matter and cooperate in finding
the missing persons.
During the hearing, the court was also informed about Osama Nazir, also mentioned by President Pervez Musharraf in his book In the Line of Fire to be
an explosives expert. It was informed that Mr Nazir was in the custody of Rawalpindi police but lodged in Taxila.
Advocate Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui had invited the attention of the court about the man, who had been picked from Faisalabad on Eid day in 2004 and,
according to Hafiz Abdul Basit who was released recently, he had developed tuberculosis and severe backbone problem because of which he was not
in a position to move.
The court ordered proper medical treatment of the detainee.
The AG read out details about the traced persons, saying that some of them had been released, while a few others were either facing trials or had
been kidnapped for ransom.
About Masood Ahmed Janjua, husband of Amina Masood Janjua who is spearheading a campaign for recovery of missing people, the AG assured the
court that he was not in the custody of the ISI.
But the AG was shown the diary of Imran Munir, held by the military authorities on spying charges, in which he had mentioned the name of Mr Janjua
during his custody with the ISI.
Amina Janjua requested the court that it was high time for chiefs of the ISI and the MI to be summoned.
Those from Punjab who have been traced are, Mohammad Shahid, Ansar Ali, Mohammad Hussain, Mohammad Owais, Sardar Pervez, Gorchani, Yasir
Arafat (arrested under Explosives Act) and Mohammad Aziz (awarded death sentence); from Sindh, Mohammad Faisal Sami, Ali Haider Bugti,
Mehmood Shahid, Luqhman alias Usman, Sher Mohammad Baloch, Ghulam Mohammad Baloch and Yassir Zahoor Dehlu; from the NWFP, Mufti
Munir Shakir and Abdul Sattar, Abdul Malik and Abdul Raheem (author of a book about Guantanamo Bay), who are lodged in different jails; and from
Balochistan, Murtaza Bugti, Noor Mohammad Marri, Mir Kazim Bugti, Mir Aghar Marri and Asad Usman, Rahim Baksh and Saleem Jan, the last two
being in custody.
The court adjourned the hearing for Oct 29 with the hope that more people would be traced by then.

10/12/2007
Karachi: Federal law officer informed the Sindh High Court on Friday that efforts are being made to ascertain the whereabouts of missing persons,
saying that the court will be apprised as soon as information regarding their recovery is received in this regard.

organizations. In all the petitions, the law enforcement agencies have been accused of arresting and illegally confining the detainees.
LEAs have, however, denied doing so. Deputy Attorney General Rizwan Siddiqui said that following the direction of Supreme Court, the Interior
Secretary summoned the inspectors general of all provinces and concerned law enforcement agencies to trace out the missing citizens, adding, they
are putting up efforts in this regard.
He denied that missing citizens were in the custody of law enforcement agencies. Petitioner’s counsel Ghulam Mustufa Lakho refuted the claim of DAG
that one detainee Asif Baladi had gone for Jihad, saying that he was not affiliated with any religious or Jihadi organization rather he was the activist of a
nationalist party.
Abdul Hafeez Lakho, counsel of other detainees, submitted that the government agencies were not recovering the missing persons but the alleged
abductors were themselves throwing them onto the streets.
SHC’s division bench comprising Chief Justice Sabihuddin Ahmed and Justice Faisal Arab, adjourning the proceedings till October 25, directed the
federal law officer to a submit report regarding traced and untraced persons. The missing persons are: Ali Mohammad, a religious scholar; Ghulam
Nabi Baloch, President Balochistan National Movement (Quetta); Sher Mohammad Baloch, President Jamhoori Watan Party (Sindh); Mohammad
Yousuf, Allah Ditto alias Asif Baladi, JWP leader Saleem Baloch, Ejaz Ahmed, an activist of Mohajir Qaumi Movement and Mohammad Shafqat, a

Journalist feared kidnapped in Balochistan
Another Balochi reporter, Munir Mengal, being unfairly held
Reporters Without Borders today expressed deep concern about the disappearance of Riaz Mengal, of the newspaper Intikhab based in Khuzdar,
Balochistan province in south-western Pakistan.
His family and colleagues have said they suspect a minister is implicated in his abduction.
Just before his disappearance, Mengal had written articles about mafia trafficking of stolen cars. "Riaz had received death threats after his
investigations. His life was in danger," one Balochi journalist told Reporters Without Borders.
The worldwide press freedom organisation called on the authorities in Balochistan and Islamabad to do their utmost to find the journalist as quickly as
possible. "The minister, Naseer Mengal, whose name has been cited in this case, should explain himself and help to find the journalist," the
organisation added.
His family has laid a complaint at a police station in Khuzdar, giving the name of the minister. Police have so far no serious leads. Demonstrations
calling for his release were held yesterday in Quetta and Khuzdar.
Reporters Without Borders pointed out that Munir Mengal, one of the managers of the channel Baloch Voice, has been held without trial since April
2006. The High Court in Balochistan ruled on 12 September that he was not guilty of any crime and ordered his immediate release, but police are
continuing to hold him.

Complete strike in Balochistan against emergency, arrests
11/6/2007
QUETTA: Life was paralysed in the provincial capital and other parts of Balochistan on Monday, as strike was observed to protest the imposition of
emergency in the country and arrests of the politicians. The strike call was given by the Pashtoonkhawa National Democratic Alliance, an alliance of the
Pashtoonkhawa Milli Awami Party (PkMAP) and the Awami National Party (ANP). All the major business centres and markets in Quetta remained
closed. Heavy contingents of police and the paramilitary force had been deployed at all sensitive areas in the city to maintain law and order.
Complete shutter-down was also observed in Zhob, Pishin, Ziarat, Loralai, Harnai, Sibi, Chaman, Killa Abdullah, Killa Saifullah, Kuchlak, Muslim Bagh,
Shahrug, Saranan, Musakhel and other areas of Balochistan. PkMAP leaders Usman Khan Kakar and Abdul Rahim Ziaratwal said the complete
shutter-down in Quetta and other areas proved that the people of Balochistan had rejected the imposition of emergency and demanded to release all
the political workers and leaders. They claimed that the police apprehended five activists of their party. Meanwhile, the arrests of the politicians, political
workers, media personnel, lawyers and human rights activists continued. Those who were arrested and taken into custody included Human Rights
Commission of Pakistan Vice-Chairperson Zahoor Ahmed Shahwani advocate and others. Media personnel were taken into custody for the coverage
of the activities of the political parties, lawyers and strike, but were released later. Meanwhile, the lawyers boycotted the court proceedings, observing
strike against the imposition of emergency and arrests of the leaders and office-bearers of various bar associations in the provincial metropolis and
some other parts of the province. A joint meeting of the Balochistan High Court Bar Association and the Balochistan Bar Association was held in the
District Court building. The participants condemned the imposition of emergency and arrests of the lawyers. It was decided in the meeting that the
lawyers would continue to completely boycott the court proceedings till the release of the arrested lawyers. It was also decided that the membership of
the lawyers appearing in the courts would be cancelled. Earlier, the lawyers took out a protest rally and chanted slogans. On the occasion, the police
arrested some 15 lawyers. Reports from interior Balochistan suggested that the lawyers also boycotted the court proceedings
in Loralai, Pishin, Zhob, Chaman, Killa Abdullah, Killa Saifullah, Musakhail and other areas.
