Two young Baloch activisits who dreamt about freedom of their homeland Balochistan in southwest Asia have been tortured and killed, the Balochi language Radio Gwank reported from Boros, Sweden.

The victims were identfied as Qamber Chakar Baloch and Ilyas Nazar Baloch. Their bodies were found in Pedark near Turbat.

Most victims of Pakistan torture are buried without autopsy though Pakistan's Military Intelligence, Inter-Services intelligence and Frontier Corps are accused of carrying out crimes against humanity in Balochistan. A request is pending with the International Committee for the Red Cross to dispatch doctors to Balochistan to conduct autopsies of the victims.

A response is awaited from the I.C.R.C., according to Baloch sources.

Qamber Chakar Baloch, 24, who was a member of the Central Committee of the Baloch Students Organization Azad, was abducted for a second time by "Pakistani fascist forces" on November 26, 2010 from Tump, according to the the student body. Ilyas Nazar Baloch, 26, who was a member BSO Azad in Quetta was abducted by "Pakistani fascist forces" on December 22, 2010.

The Balochistan National Movement has called for a three-day wheel-jam and shutterdown protest beginning from January 7, 2011.

The B.N.M. also plans to bring out a rally on January 10, 2011 in Karachi.

But for any rally to succeed in Karachi, a strike call has to come from the Muttahida Qaumi Movement. The M.Q.M. has not supported the Balochistan struggle for freedom nor even raised its voice against human rights violations there.

The American Friends of Balochistan has urged the U.S. Department of State to take serious notice of the Pakistani killings and cut off aid to Pakistan without delay if it is serious about winning the war on terror in the Afpak region.

It called upon the U.S. State Department and Pentagon to hold direct and unconditional talks with Baloch leaders for an independent Balochistan in stead of wasting U.S. taxpayers monies on Pakistan army and Inter-Services Intelligence agency.
