Baloch resist illegal occupation by Pakistan

London, Oct 7: Pakistan's Home and Tribal Affairs department revealed that 592 mutilated bodies have been recovered from Balochistan since 2010. The official record reveals a half-truth, but it exposes Pakistan's notorious "pick, kill and dump" policy in resource-rich Balochistan. It clearly reflects the human rights crisis in the region. Baloch political activists based in London recently staged a protest outside Pakistan High Commission on Sept. 28 against Pakistani armed forces. Oct 7, 2013

Quest for justice in Bangladesh

Bangladesh, Sep 30: After four decades of its freedom, Bangladesh is rejoicing! Justice has almost been done against those who committed crimes against humanity, during the Bangladesh war for secession from Pakistan, in 1971. A court recently declared Jamaat-e-Islami, Bangladesh's biggest Islamic party, to be illegal, effectively banning it from taking part in elections. So far, six party leaders have been convicted of various crimes in connection with the war. On September 17, Bangladesh's Supreme Court sentenced Abdul Quader Mollah, a Jamaat leader to death for war crimes, overturning a life sentence imposed by a tribunal. He was found guilty of murder, rape and torture. Sep 30, 2013
