"The forces kidnapped several people including two brothers Ashraf Bugti s/o Pondhal Bugti and Dostain Bugti s/o Pondhal Bugti and threatened the people who had come to express their condolences. The families and relatives of the victims were severely beaten up and the ceremony of the post-funeral reception was forcibly ended by the forces," said the BRP. The party accused the state of having no regard for fundamental human rights. ...not to be confused with individual rights,mind you... "State forces claimed that those killed during military offensive in Sui operation were armed gunnies but reality is they were all innocent Baloch civilians which is now supported by the recent statement of Human Rights Commission of Pakistain where prominent Human Rights activist Asma Jahangir said that while the HRCP was in Balochistan  ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... , seven young men were picked up from Mathh area of Dera Bugti by the FC and subsequently summarily executed," said the statement. BRP also claimed that Pak forces were also increasing their presence in Noshki area of Balochistan. Baloch Republican Party has appealed to the international community to end its prolonged silence "over the genocide of Baloch people, state atrocities, human rights abuses and war crimes perpetrated by the state forces in Balochistan."
