On August 26, 2006, when a military regime in Pakistan kills the Chairman of a popular political party in Balochistan, one cannot but conclude that the State is terrorizing its own people.

Opposing military rule in the country and defending himself & his people from regular series of military attacks costs Akbar Bugti, head of Jamhoori Watan Party his family and now his own life!

A deadly message is sent to all other political parties in the country to be prepared for paying this price, or stop thinking of opposing the military headed government - Thus creating a terror for all those who demand democracy in Pakistan.

Many such incidences in the past and this unfortunate event last week compels all democracy loving, pro-human rights forces to join hands in expressing concern over Fascism in this modern era. This is not a minor issue of a certain area, province or a person, but a phenomenon that has huge potential impact on the process of democratization globally.

A peaceful demonstration against this atrocity will be staged in front of The Capitol Hill on September 08, 2006 at 2:00 to 3:00 pm . The World Sindhi Institute, Balochistan National Party, Jamhoori Watan Party, Pakistan Peoples Party, World Sindhi Congress, Baloch Society of North America, Baloch International League (for Peace and Freedom), Baloch Human Rights International, World Baloch Jewish Alliance and organizations/ individuals interested in the cause of human rights and democracy will express their concern on the situation of democracy in Pakistan . Honorable Members of the U.S. Congress are also invited to address the rally.

The World Sindhi Institute is coordinating with all organizations/individuals interested in the cause of human rights and democracy, to exchange information on recent events in Balochistan and to formulate a strategy to disseminate the information further to all stake-holders.
