BHRAA: Norwegian-Baloch human rights activist was
abducted by Pakistani "military forces", feared tortured
The family of Ehsan Arjmandi last week was waitting on the airport of Oslo
that he would land after a family visit-trip to Balochistan of
Pakistan but he never arrived.
Ehsan had been arrested and taken away by the Pakistani military
police on his way to Karachi on 7 Agusti 2009, tells his brother,
Ali Arjmandi on the phone.
Ehsan Arjmandi 38 who is an iranian baloch , has lived in Norway since 1989 and is a
Norwegian citizen. In Oslo he has been an human rights ativist
of his people (Balochs) which is an oppressed minority people in
Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Witnesses tell of severe torture of
political prisoners in the Pakistani military camps, where Mr.
Arjmani probably has been moved.
Nobody who knows Ehsan understand what he may be suspected.
After five days of
uncertainty his family worry for his poor health and fear for
torture because of the activities he has done as an HR- activist in
Norway.
Pakistan and Iran have an extradition agreement with each other for
political prisoners.
According to Iranian news agencies [1-3] more than 10 balochi regime
opponents has been handed over by Pakistan to Iran in the last
twelve months and 4 of them were hanged recently in a prison in
Zahedan [4-5].
We in the "Balochistan Human Rights activists Assosiation"
(BHRAA) think Ehsan Arjmandi's life is in danger and therefore
would call for international attention on his case and his
safety and urge you to take urgent action to save his life,
before it is late!
