Iranian occupiers kidnapped a Baloch woman
UK: June 12, 2009. (PCP) Several Baluch armed groups and tribal chiefs threatened to take action if Mrs Zari Naroee was not released from jail immediately. Mrs Naroee was arrested on 9. 6.09 but was released after the Baluch dignitaries intervened. She was arrested again two days later on 11th of June and was taken to the Intelligence Ministry’s prison in Zahedan, the capital of Baluchistan. Her husband, Zabihollah Naroee was hanged on 30.5.09 .He was a cultural activist who had been arrested few months ago.
Shaheed Zabiullah Naroee/Narui, slain husband of Zari Naroee.
The angry Baluch tribal chiefs, armed groups and specifically Jondollah announced that the Baluch women have never been involved in political or military matters. This has been an established part of Baluch code of conduct and culture. The Baluch men have never insulted any woman from any background and from any colour, religion tribe or race. This is an accepted principle among the Baluch to honour the woman of their opponents and enemies. For the same reasons they have never allowed any governments or adversary to the insult, arrest, torture or hang any Baluch women.
Shaheed Jumma Khan Naroee killed by Iranian occupiers a year before the killing of his brother Shaheed Zabiullah Naroee, Shaheed Jumma was the brother-in-law of Zari Naroee.
The Islamic Republic of Iran violated this internationally accepted principle of human rights several times and each time they were encountered by the strong wrath and reaction of Baluch people. Every time the Islamic Republic of Iran retreated as a result of widespread actions by Baluch people. This time will not be different.
Some groups threatened that if Mrs Naroee is not released immediately no non-Baluch women will be safe in Baluchistan and the regime will be responsible for the consequences. The Baluch people believe that proportionate retaliation is permitted in their own culture and according to international law.

Baluchistan was a sovereign independent nation that was forcibly occupied in 1948 by neighbouring Pakistan
GENEVA: MEHRAN BALUCH, of Interfaith International, said Baluchistan was a sovereign independent nation that was forcibly occupied in 1948 by neighbouring Pakistan. Since then the occupying power had used every method to enslave the Baluch, and had exploited and plundered Baluchistan’s resources. The level of international deception by the Occupying Power was not only regrettable but extremely shameful. The world had to acknowledge that the Occupying Power had been deceitfully marketing itself and its importance internationally at Baluchistan’s expense. The continued subjugation and oppression by the Baluch by the occupiers for over 63 years had brought even the weakest Baluch to the conclusion that national liberation of Baluchistan was the final solution.

Mr. Chairman,
Baluchistan was a sovereign independent nation which was forcibly occupied in 1948 by neighboring Pakistan. Since occupation the Baluch have been struggling for their national liberation. Hoverer the occupying power has used every method to enslave the Baluch, exploit and plunder Baluchistan’s resources in order to sustain – “the occupying Nation”.
Mr. Chairman,
The level of international deception by the occupying power is not only regrettable but extremely shameful. I say this because it presents it-self in the international community as a strategically important and viable nation where as it’s neither without Baluchistan’s landmass and its resources.
Mr. Chairman,
The occupying power frequently boasts about its strategic position in South Asia. But what strategic importance does Punjab province have? Not much, because they are land locked, over populated and without any significant natural resources.
Mr. Chairman,
The world has to acknowledge that the occupying power has been deceitfully marketing itself and its importance internationally only on Baluchistan’s expense. Almost the entire cost line of Pakistan is Baluchistan.
Resources such as gas, coal, gold and other natural minerals produced in Baluchistan is looted and plundered by Punjabi Pakistan. Almost 50% of Pakistan’s land is Baluchistan.
Mr. Chairman.
It is interesting to see that occupying power portrays us as anti-Islam to its own people where as it portrays us as Islamic fundamentalists to the west.
Mr. Chairman,
The continued subjugation and oppression of the Baluch by the occupiers for over 63 years of occupation has brought even the weakest Baluch to the conclusion that national liberation of Baluchistan is the final solution.
The occupying Government has enjoyed a free hand in Baluchistan where it has carried out 5 major military operations over 6 decades , killed tens of thousands, abducted and tortured thousands, Yet it remains champion of Islam and advocate of human rights.
Mr. Chairman,
I was the first person to bring the case of gross human rights violations committed in Baluchistan by the occupying Pakistani Army, ISI and the establishment to the United Nations Human Rights Commission in 2001.
Pakistan has tried to silence me by registering false criminal cases against me and my family. Pakistan through its notorious ISI has intensified an extensive propaganda campaign against Baluch human rights defenders worldwide.
They have gone as far as threatening the Head of NGO that accredits me, presented false Interpol papers to international governments, tried to blackmail the British into extraditing me to Pakistan and as well as requesting the Swiss authorities on a number of occasions to arrest me on the false basis of terrorism.
Mr. Chairman,
The Pakistani establishment is doing its best to break the will of the Baloch for freedom and human rights but it is unstoppable, therefore it is promoting the policy of divide and rule with the promise of autonomy for the Baluch through its so-called democratic government and its agents, in order to disillusion the Baluch nation and the international community into believing that Pakistan is sincere in resolving the Baluch conflict.
The struggle of liberty over oppression is the struggle of memory over forgetting. And we have not forgotten that once we were free.

Jamal Baloch of BRP and Qamber Chakar Baloch of BSO (azaad) said that Baloch detainees in Sibi jail have been tortured and humiliated only because they had pictures of Hyrbair Marri and other Baloch leaders with them in jail. They said that international community must take notice of the atrocities of Pakistani army against the people of Balochistan.

Vice chairperson of BSO (azaad) and two others awarded three year sentence by a Pakistani court
Gowhaar Karima Baloch
Turbat:
An anti terror court has sentenced central vice chairperson of BSO (azaad) Ms. Karima Baloch and two others for three years and imposed on penalty of 150 thousand Pakistani rupees, the court however acquitted peer Jan Baloch of the treason charges. According to details Ms. Karima Baloch, Hammal Baloch and Wahab Baloch were charged under section 123,124 of Pakistan’s law on 14 August 2006. These sections apparently constitute treason if proved. Ms. Karima Baloch and others were accused of treason when they joined a protest rally to observe 14 August (the independence day of Pakistan) as a black day and protest against forced disappearance of thousands Baloch men and women at Shaheed Fida Chowk in Turbat town in Balochistan.
The “special judge” declared them abscond and sentenced and fined them in their absence.
We the BaluchWarna team strongly condemn the sentencing of BSO (azaad) vice chairperson Ms Karima Baloch and others.
1. We believe the judge has sentenced them under pressure from Pakistan’s intelligence agencies (ISI) and MI (Military Intelligence), as it is an open secret that judges in Pakistan has no power to take any decision independently.
2. It is an undeniable fact that Baloch has nothing to do with Pakistan’s independence and 14 August is observed as a “day of mourning” and condemnation all over Balochistan every year. Sentencing only three people in this regard we believe is illogical.
3. If Pakistan’s judges are really free do decide whatever they want then they must take action against the intelligence agencies who have kidnapped thousands of Baloch youth, elderly, and women. Sentencing those who protest against such atrocities we believe is misuse of power by the Pakistani court and the so called “special judge”.
4. Protesting against state atrocities i.e. illegal detentions, extra judicial murders, rape and misconduct of state intelligence agencies is the democratic right of every individual and for exercising this right Baloch people should not be sentenced.
5. Recently three Baloch political leaders namely Ghulam Mohammad Baloch, Lala Munir Baloch and Sher Mohammad Baloch had been murdered by Pakistan’s intelligence agencies but the courts did not taken any action. The killers of those Baloch leaders are still at large. Baloch student and political activists are being abducted on daily bases but courts do not take any action.
6. Wahid Qamber Baloch who has been acquitted by Balochistan high court due lack of evidence but the ATF (anti terror force) are holding him illegally. His family members including his daughter are currently on hunger strike in Balochistan and Karachi. Again we see no action from the courts and judges.
7. 23-year school teacher Ms. Zarina Baloch is still in custody in Pakistan and her case has been well documented by national and international human right groups that she is being used as a sex slave by Pakistani army. Courts have taken no action against this heinous crime of the military perpetrators. Yet the Baluch activists are being sentenced for opposing such inhuman crimes of the army of Pakistan.
There are numerous such incidents which the courts have simply ignored and took no action against the state sponsored perpetrators. We believe this is biasness of the Pakistani courts to sentence Baloch people for exercising their democratic right but the abductors of thousands of Baloch are not only roaming freely but abducting more and more innocent people.
