Occupied Balochis-
tan, 1 July 2011:
Baloch patriot and
pro-liberation leader
Abdul Ghaffar Langov
was killed under-
custody by
Pakistani security
forces, his bullet-riddled and mutilated dead body was recovered
today in Gadani area of district Lasbela, Balochistan.
Mr. Ghaffar Langove Baloch was abducted by Pakistani
security agencies from Karachi on 11 December 2009, from
hospital where his wife was admitted. Till his extra judicial
murder his whereabouts remained unknown. He had no
access to legal representation neither was he family
allowed to meet him.
The relatives of Ghaffar Langav have been protesting for
his safe recovery from the Platform of Voice for Baloch
Missing Persons, an Organisation formed by the families
of enforced disappeared Baloch activists, which is striving
for the safe and early release of illegally detained Baloch
activists and for the arrested of uniformed culprits i.e.
(the FC, ISI and Military Intelligence) to be brought to
justice for their crimes against humanity in occupied
Balochistan.
Martyred Ghaffar was first arrested in 2000 but was
released around after one month of torture and
interrogation by personnel of Military Intelligence.
He was rearrested in 2006 from Mangochar area
of Balochistan; both times he was subjected to
brutal physical and psychological torture by Pakistani
Military and Intelligence agencies. After years of
illegal imprisonment comrade Mir Ghaffar Langov
was released on Friday 8 May 2009. He was
received by hundreds of Baloch students and taken
to Balochistan University. At the University Mr. Langov
reaffirmed his resolve to continue the struggle for
the liberation of Balochistan.
In December 2009 Mir Abdul Ghaffar Langov took
his wife to Karachi for treatment when the Pakistani
intelligence agencies and Karachi Police abducted
him for the third time from the gate of hospital on
11, December, 2009. He was kept under illegal
custody by the Pakistani security forces despite
several orders by Sindh High court for his recovery.
The security agencies of Pakistan ignored all the orders
of the Courts and denied detaining Mr. Langov.
In a free and democratic counrty the intelligence agencies
and ISI would have been in contempt of court and
would be detained for not obeying the Court orders
but in Pakistan the Judiciary, the media, and even the
parliament are subservient to the Army and ISI.
The family members of Mr. Abdul Ghaffar Baloch
have constantly been protesting in Quetta, Karachi and
Islamabad for his release but all in futile. They have
time and again urged the Chief Justice of Pakistan to
take notice of his illegal abduction and get the Military
Intelligence to produce him to court of law. The family
went to the extent to say that if he was involved in any
unlawful activities, he should be produced
before the court o law in accordance with the
constitution of country [Pakistan] and
given the opportunity to stand a fair trial to prov
e his innocence or if he was found
guilty he should be punished according the
country’s law but all to no avail because
the ISI, military Intelligence and other security
agencies are a law onto themselves
and running a state of their own where they
believe they not answerable to anyone.
LONG LIVE THE LONG-DUEL FOR ...
"FREE BALOCHISTAN." |
