Event to focus on sexual slavery in Pakistan on March 29 at Busboys

The shrieks of victims of rape and sexual slavery in Pakistan will reverberate in Washington DC as the premier American Friends of Balochistan (AFB) will bring together American anti-slavery workers on March 29. The event will be held at the Busboys and Poets in the US capital. Minority women are eking out an existence that is reminiscent of the Dark Ages. State security forces in Balochistan routinely abduct Baloch women and even minor boys. Human rights defenders fear they are being used as sex slaves by Pakistan soldiers. Likewise, Christian and Hindu women and minor girls are abducted at point of gun as fair game, forcibly converted and married to men they never met before, in Punjab and Sindh provinces respectively. Unfortunately, the civil and political society either lack the will and resources to counter this sex slavery or treat the issue casually as it does not affect the mainstream, rather the most vulnerable section of society living on the fringes. The event has been organized by the American Friends of Balochistan, a non-profit registered in the state of Maryland. The organization is headed by the first openly gay person from Balochistan which the British left divided in three parts: a territory the size of New Mexico is in Pakistan, the second size of Nevada is in Iran and third size of West Virginia is in Afghanistan. There are more than 30 million Baloch people all over the world and in the country of Oman they form at least 20 percent of the population. Balochistan in Pakistan is facing a tsunami of human rights violations.

Or let us ask this way: when does a person find himself in a “golden cage” bored to death? Answer is when you are only one of the three claimants to a tribal fiefdom that is bigger than Cyprus, or almost as big as Lebanon, or half the land size of Israel, and   you are surrounded by a  half dozen sycophants whose dream in life is to carry your suitcase and that too in Geneva, Switzerland, in stead of half million people to who were God reincarnated, you feel a sense of loss. Even if your wine closet has the best alcohol that you drink every night and puff cigarettes in the manner of a dejected lover of Pakistan—not caring for other family members in the house. you will feel little joy and lot of frustration, if yo...
