Balochistan goes on strike against disappearances
 QUETTA: A complete shutter-down and wheel-jam strike was observed across Balochistan on Monday. The Baloch Students Organisation (BSO) had called for the strike against the alleged enforced disappearance of BSO Vice-Chairman Zakir Majeed Baloch, Quetta BSO President Shahzaib Baloch and several other Baloch students. The Anjuman-e-Ittehad-e-Marri also backed the strike. Life in Quetta and several other districts came to a halt as all business centres, banks and educational institutions remained closed. Police said a case has been registered against unidentified men who burnt an Irrigation Departments vehicle during the strike. Posted by: Steve White 2009-06-16 |
