   Protest against Islamic Bomb
   
   WASHINGTON DC: Peace
   acitivists from occupied
   Baluchistan will join hands with their
   U.S.counterparts to mark the 10th anniversary of
   Pakistan testing its deadly Islamic Bomb in occupied
   Baluchistan on May 28.
   
   The event will be held outside the Pakistan embassy in
   Washington DC, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. The exact address
   is 3517 International Ct. NW Washington DC. The metro
   station is Van Ness on the red line.
   
   Baluchistan, a Texas-size stateless region, is divided
   among Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan and a bloody army
   operation continues there despite installing of a
   civilian regime in Pakistan. Pakistan's coup leader
   Gen. (R) Pervez Musharraf is still the president of
   the artificial state created by the British in 1947.
   
   Musharraf, like other army generals, is directly
   responsible for the Baluch genocide.
   
   Baluchistan was annexed by Pakistan in March 1948 and
   a move is afoot to knock the doors of the
   International Court of Justice.
   
   Last week three Baluch tribesmen were burnt alive in
   Pakistani-occupied Baluchistan. Several thousand
   people have been killed since the start of a bloody
   insurgency in 2005, which the Baluch call the Fifth
   War of Liberation against Pakistani occupation of
   their homeland since March 1948.
   
   The Baluch have risen in arms against the occupation
   of their country by Pakistan in 1948, 1958 and 1962
   and 1973-77. The latest uprising started in 2005 and
   the dead include former governor and chief minister of
   Baluchistan, Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti, and member of the
   provincial assembly Mir Bala'ach Marri. More than 7000
   people were jailed and tortured in Pakistan's
   gestapo-style prisons. The jailed victims included
   former chief minister of Baluchistan, Sardar Akhtar
   Mengal.
   
   Though all nuclear weapons are equally condemnable,
   Pakistan's weapons of mass destruction is even more
   dangerous as it is religion-specific. As part of its
   state ideology, Pakistan considers people from other
   religions as its enemies and has made clear it
   will not desist from being the first to use nuclear
   weapons.
   
   
   Islamic fundamentalists took to the streets of
   Pakistan when the nuclear weapons were tested in
   Chagai 10 years ago. They had missile replicas mounted
   on trucks with "U.S., Israel and India" inscribed on
   them
   
   A number of U.S.-based Baluch human rights activists
   will participate in the protest rally in DC.
   
   American guitarists will sing peace songs, while U.S.
   poets will recite poems. Speeches by Baluch and Sindhi
   activists will deal with the situation faced by the
   people of Baluchistan and Sindh.
   
   Similar protests are planned in Pakistan and other
   Western capitals, including Toronto and Oslo.
   
   The event in DC has been organized by the Baloch
   Society of North America and the American
   Friends of Baluchistan.
