China US India fund Baluchistan Liberation Army, Adil Raja ex Pakistan Army soldierspeaks Imran Khan

Including explanation of how Pakistan military employs a Chinese-designed firewall to throttle the internet and is taking down YouTube, Twitter and other social media which have made Maj Adil Raja popular for supporting democracy, truth and free speech in Pakistan

Another police case has been registered against me by the military-controlled puppet government of Pakistan for practising impartial journalism. If you think such harassment will deter me from doing my job, you are mistaken. The Pakistani military has court-martialed me in absentia, sentenced me to 14 years of rigorous imprisonment, and seized all my assets and pensions. Meanwhile, the ISI is pursuing a SLAPP lawsuit against me in London, aiming for further financial strangulation after my arrest in the UK on fictitious terrorism charges. This is an old tactic from the Pakistani playbook: exploiting counterterrorism cooperation. However, this effort ended in an apology after nine months, and the case was eventually dropped.

This is just the tip of what the Pakistani military has done to me, including the abduction of my mother and holding her hostage in Pakistan. Nevertheless, from wielding a gun to using a pen, I continue to fight for the freedom of the nameless hundreds of millions who have been silenced, and that will not change!

I refuse to conform to fascism or vested interests for personal gain, and I have proven this to you all. Please pray that I remain steadfast.

Who Is Behind Pakistan Train Hijack? A Look At Armed Insurgency In Balochistan | Explained

The Balochistan Liberation Army said they were holding 214 people hostages, and have threatened to start executing them. A primary driver of

The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) has said it blew up a railway track and opened fire on a passenger train on Tuesday, taking dozens of hostages.

The Jaffar Express was running from Quetta, the provincial capital of the southwestern province of Balochistan, to Peshawar, the capital of the northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

The train was passing the Bolan Pass, a restive area in southwestern Pakistan, which is a rugged, mountainous region, when it was attacked.

Though the police have not specified how many passengers were taken hostage but the BLA said they were holding 214 people, and have threatened to start executing them, according to a report by Reuters.

Who Are The Baloch?

The Baloch are a Sunni Muslim ethnic group who live on both sides of the Iran-Pakistan border, and also in parts of southern Afghanistan. Balochistan forms the largest part of this region, followed by the province of Sistan and Balochistan on the Iranian side.

The area, which is roughly the size of France, is sparsely populated by around 9 million Balochs who are organised into tribes rather than feeling that they belong to a state.

After Partition, Balochistan remained independent until March 1948 as part of a friendship treaty with the new state of Pakistan. The Khan of Kalat, the main tribal leader whose writ ran over much of the region, was keen to remain independent, but came under tremendous pressure to join Pakistan, including from his feudatories, the rulers of Makran, Las Bela, and Kharan.
