. Dr. Imdad Baloch and his three friends were released in May 2005, reported torture and degrading inhuman treatment during detention. The other three BSO
leaders, including Dr. Allah Nazar are still in Jail and their families have reported that all three men have been tortured using electric shocks. Among these
three, the Condition Of Dr. Allah Nazar is said to be especially grave, who is partially paralyzed and reportedly unable to speak or recognize anyone as result of
electric shocks and torture. His family has expressed concern that his injuries may result in complete paralysis unless he receives immediate medical
treatment in a hospital. However, the authorities have reportedly denied the men access to medical treatment."
Human Right Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) and Amnesty International have shown concerns over the torture reports. In their press release it says, “It is
obvious that the illegal detentions and torture in custody are one part of a broader strategy of intimidation and harassment being pursued across the country.
During the first seven months of the year, political activists, journalists and other citizens expressing dissent have all been picked up and subjected to similar
intimidation. It also seems personnel of agencies and police are acting with growing impunity in carrying out such illegal acts."
“HRCP demands all illegally detained people held in the country be produced before courts, and charged if they are guilty of any unlawful act. It also calls for
civil society groups to be given access to detained persons. The tactic of illegally arresting people can do nothing to dampen dissent, but will only add to the
anger and frustration growing in the country, adding to the already existing threat of further violence and
Mayhem. ”
After the Press Conference, Dr. Imdad Baloch sat on hunger strike in front of Karachi Press clubs. Many members of Baloch Student Organization (BSO-United)
were also with him. "After my Martyrdom, The Secretary General Of BSO-United Saeed Yousuf will continue the Hunger strike till death," said Dr. Imdad Baloch.
