Words of Farzana Majeed, sister of abducted Zakir Majeed Baloch, at HRCP meeting

Farzana Majeed is sister of abducted Zakir Majeed Baloch, the senior Vice Chairman of BSO-Azad.

Zakir Majeed Baloch, 27 (at the time of abduction), and a Master's student in English from Lasbela University of Agriculture, Water and Marine Sciences, was abducted by Pakistan's intelligence agencies from Mastung Balochistan, on 8th of June, 2009. He was abducted while he was on his way from Parangabad market to a friend Waheed Baloch's house. Waheed Baloch and Basit Baloch are eye witnesses this incident. The eyewitness's accounts have also been published by Asian Human Rights Commission's webpage. It says:

"His alleged abductors drove up in two cars without number plates and asked the young man a few questions; saying that they were intelligence agents. They took Majeed away with them in their cars without making any charges. One car was a Toyota Vego, the other a Toyota Surf SSR."

Summary Farzana's speech: Zakir is among one of the thousands of abducted Baloch activists who languish in Pakistani torture cells. His family is one of the thousands of families directly affected by state terrorism -- abductions, torture and extra judicial killings.

In this speech she is extremely bitter against those Baloch who, after years of experiencing Pakistani atrocities and terror against Baloch people, are still willing to participate in upcoming Pakistan elections. She says, "I have no complaints against Punjabis or Pakistan because I do not belong to them. They are doing what they're supposed to do. However, those who claim to be well-wishers of Baloch are going to become partners of Pakistan in its murderous policies against Baloch people. Maybe it is because these people have not lost a loved one.

Directly pointing at Hasil Bezinjo and Jan Mohammad Builidi of National Party she says, "These people cannot understand my mother pain because their loved one have not been abducted by ISI, Intelligence agencies. They did not lose any of their sons, brothers, daughters or sister that's why they cannot even imagine what the families of abducted Baloch go through."

She says she doesn't have faith in any institution of Pakistan as she has knocked the door of all these institutions but none of them helped her and other Baloch families to bring back their loved ones. The abductions of Baloch youth, mostly the educated and young professionals continue unabated and so does the kill and dump policy by the state of Pakistan.
