Balochistan and called for an immediate withdrawal of troops from the province.

| A Daughter's plea for release of her Dad who is in Pakistani custody for more than two years now. We ask all human right organizations and friends of oppressed people around the world to raise their voice and ask Govt of Pakistan to release this child's father immediately which is held without any charge for so long.
