Strike observed against extra-judicial killings of Baloch

Quetta: A complete wheel-jam and shutter-down strike was observed in Baloch-dominated areas of Balochistan on Saturday against the alleged extra-judicial disappearances and recovery of bullet-riddled bodies of Baloch political activists and Journalists in Balochistan and Karachi.

The Baloch National Front (BNF) had given the strike call against dumping of mutilated bodies across the province.

The strike was observed in Mastung, Kalat, Surab, Khuzdar, Hub, Turbat, Gwadar and other districts, where  all street and trade centres were closed throughout the day, while transport remained suspended, paralyzing life in the Baloch-dominated districts.
