this area for establish of military bases and forcefully exploiting
the area rich in oil and natural resources.

There is a huge wave
of violating the human rights in Balochistan, by illegal detention,
kidnapping, arresting and torturing the Baloch people and on the

military government is coupled with attempts to destabilize the
political and social structure of Balochistan and trying to spread
