Judicial commission submits report on Khuzdar mass grave
2014-07-15
[DAWN] QUETTA: The judicial commission probing the Khuzdar mass grave incident submitted its report containing statements from 57 individuals to the Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
government on Monday, a senior administration official said.

Home Secretary Balochistan, Akbar Hussain Durrani told Dawn.com that Justice Noor Muhammad Muskanzai, who is heading the commission, submitted the report.

Durrani said that the judicial commission conducted thorough hearings with regards to the mass grave and submitted a comprehensive report to the provincial government.

"We cannot make the report public at this point of time," he said, adding that it would be made public after the arrival of Chief Minister Balochistan Dr Abdul Malik Baloch from abroad.

Sources in Home and Tribal Affairs Department Balochistan told Dawn.com that the number of dead bodies reached 17 in the mass grave in Totak area of the province.

However,
alcohol has never solved anybody's problems. But then, neither has milk...
Baloch nationalists put the figure high than what was being claimed by the officials.

"The number of dead bodies in Totak is more than official figures," seasoned Baloch nationalist leader, Dr Hayee Baloch told Dawn.com.

He urged upon the government to take action against those involved in the incident.

Meanwhile,
...back at the Council of Boskone, Helmuth had turned a paler shade of blue. Star-A-Star had struck again...
the home secretary however assured that people would be apprised about the facts regarding the mass grave and nothing would be hidden from them.

In late January 2014, a shepherd had spotted a mass grave in district Khuzdar's Totak area.

The news drew criticism from human rights
...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless...
groups, political parties and civil society. Subsequently, Chief Minister Dr Malik Baloch announced the formation of a judicial commission to bring facts about the tragedy.
