Baloch separatist leaders slam Pakistan, promise to make it pay for inhuman treatment
Quetta, Nov 3 (JEN): Going on the offensive, Baloch separatist leaders, who regularly slam Pakistan, have upped the tempo and have promised to make the country's government pay for the inhuman treatment being meted out to the ethnic community.

Abdul Nawaz Bugti, the representative of Baloch Republican Party to the UNHRC has said, "As a Baloch I will never forget the way Pakistan disrespected the women of my nation. Promise we’ll make you pay for this."

The leader of the BRP, Brahumdagh Bugti, brought up recent issues concerning the Baloch, on Twitter, and said, "Rise in abduction of families of Baloch activists by Pakistani forces exposes the inhuman face of the state & it’s defeat in #Balochistan."

Brahumdagh Bugti was referring to the recent detention of relatives of Allah Nazar Baloch by Pakistani forces.

Allah Nazar is a key separatist leader in Balochistan.

His family was detained on Oct 30 as reported by local sources quoting Baloch National Movement and the Baloch Students Organization (Azad).
