Quetta: According to Daily Tawar [Balochistan’s National newspaper] and the family members of a prisoner Mir Maluk Marri Baloch the Deputy Jail superintendent named Tariq Mehmood tortures the Baloch prisoners in Mach Jail on racial grounds, using all the possible ways of mental and physical torture. Above all he is not allowing the family members to visit the prisoners inside because he fears that his inhuman and illegal actions will be exposed if the prisoners tell the visitors of the critical conditions of themselves and the torture at the hands of the superintendent.
According to the family members of Maluk Baloch the last time they were allowed to visit Maluk Marri he complained about the Jail administration and their racial behaviour toward Baloch prisoners, The family members have said that Maluk was beaten in front of them and dragged away from them while he was explaining the conditions he is facing inside. The family members and Maluk Baloch were abused on racial basis and were threatened of dire consequences if they leaked out the "inside story".
It should also be taken in consideration that similar kind of behaviour of the Deputy Superintendent was also exposed by Baloch Republican Party previously, which said that Dr. Aaqil Bugti Baloch and his friends are facing severe torture in Mach Jail and the cause behind this is the prejudice the Jail officials have about the Baloch, they believe Baloch to be American and Indian agents trying to destabilize the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, this kind of prejudices prevail throughout Pakistani Armed forces.
Mach Jail is an "official" place to keep the "Baloch" prisoners keeping aside the underground torture cells of Pakistan Army which cross the figure of 150 throughout Pakistan, and majority of the victims of these torture cells are Sons, Daughters, Children, and older people of Baloch Nation, being tortured for the core reason of being a Baloch and asking for the birth right of Independence.
All the political parties of Baloch working for the Independence of Balochistan and humanity recorded their consent for the torture victims around the world, particularly with the torture being carried out with Maluk and Aaqil Baloch in Mach Jail.
Baloch Students Organization (Azad) Mach zone in a press release stated that it seems hard to convince the human rights activists around the world that Baloch are human beings as well, they have rights as well but hope should always accompany every person working for humanitarian causes around the world and Baloch nation would not halt its freedom movement due to such tortures rather our believe in our cause gets stronger as we keep on hearing the barbarism of the occupiers of Balochistan.
