Balochistan: Silence of the courts

[DRaisinHerald]

About Scotland we will believe it when we ill see it. I hope it happens though.

No no, hope it doesn't happen. That'd be bad for us living in the UK in many different ways.
Besides, what has the UK done to you?

Why we can't do anything against Express Tribune? Someone must do something to prevent their nonsense articles.

Pakistan government or people (public interest litigation)can file court cases against express trubune for publishing false news or spreading false propoganda or even anti-national activities.

How can a nationalist pakistani can allow publishing news on how to breaking its own country.
If it had happened in India probably Shiv Sena would have burnt the newspaper office down.

^^Agree with you. We Pakistani became silence and can't do anything action to sue Express Tribune. We are just reading and complaining here, lol.

Express Tribune will continue to use some harsh negatives articles for the benefits.

sadly SC along with political leaders all are quiet on Balochistan!

Imran can sleep on the streets of NWFP to stop nato supply lines but is scared to enter baluchistan! MQM can leave government on useless issues but doesn't raise its voice on baluchistan.

PML N does logn march to restore CJ but not to show solidarity to baluchis!

CJ can take suo moto notice on everything but not baluchistan!

I won't mind SC taking suo moto on this issue. But suo moto should be taken on both missing persons issue and the continous killings of Non Baloch(or even Baloch) by militants in Baluchistan. One sided suo moto based on media rhetoric won't do anything good for Pakistan.

^^ Its not between state and the people in mountains its about this state vs the enemy/interested states.

You said it all. It is about this state(plus states who support this state) vs enemy state. This makes the freedom dream more difficult and bloody.

ISLAMABAD:

The Secretariat police on Friday booked Nawabzada Shahzain Bugti, grandson of the late Nawab Akbar Bugti, along with five officials of the Punjab police in his security protocol, for thrashing and giving life threats to two journalists at a local hotel on Thursday.

Bugti, also chief of the Balochistan chapter of the Jamhoori Watan Party (JWP), was in Islamabad on Thursday meeting a US embassy political counsellor, Jonathan Prett, at the hotel. The meeting was captured on cell phone cameras by two reporters of a news channel which the young Bugti did not particularly like.

He unleashed his security guards at the journalists, and they were quickly rounded up and thrashed. Bugti’s security guards also seized their cell phones. However, one of them managed to escape from the guards’ custody and informed his colleagues.

A case under sections 379 and 506 of the Pakistan Penal Code was registered against Bugti on the complaint of Shahid Ali Rana, the first of the two reporters who received the beating. However, the police believe the charges against Bugti are minor.

“These are minor charges which include carelessness and imparting threats to someone and normally the suspects get bailed out on the first appearance in the court,” said a police official. He said five of Bugti’s security guards, the officials of Elite Police from Punjab, who were taken into custody by the police, were also booked.

A police official said Bugti’s security guards were all in plain clothes at the time of the incident, however, five of them appeared in the uniform of Punjab Police later when the incident came to the notice of the hotel management and the news organisation. It was not clear how the Punjab police officials got into his personal security protocol and why they were not wearing uniforms initially.

“His (Bugti’s) guards thrashed me multiple times, and he himself threatened me with dire consequences if I would not hand over the cell phone,” said one of the two journalists.

The Secretariat police intervened after the news channel’s management asked them to take action and get the reporters released from the custody of Bugti’s guards at the hotel.

This a serious national issue we have left on faujis to deal with from last many decades they have made a crippling situation , political problems cannot be sorted out militarily .. its a wrong move have costed us and if remains this way will further escalate problems. You are right that political and religious parties should gather on a one point agenda to save baluchistan.

This is their behavior with journalists in a city like Islamabad. It isn't hard to understand what their behavior used to be with their tribesmen in Dera Bugti.
