Human rights groups are calling for a UN fact-finding mission to pakistan

30 jan 2014                                                       Human rights groups are calling for a UN fact-finding mission to Pakistan following the discovery of multiple mass graves in Balochistan province this past weekend. Pakistan’s army has been accused of atrocities bordering on genocide, with thousands of Baloch, including scores of independence activists, being “disappeared” in recent years.
Just hours after President Obama delivered his annual State of the Union address, Rep. Louie Gohmert (TX-01) took to the floor of the House of Representatives yesterday raising questions of why the US continues to provide millions in aid to Pakistan each year while engaged in these atrocities. He reads from a Toronto Sun oped by Tarek Fatah on this issue published earlier this week. (Also revisit my past reports here at PJ Tatler on our Pakistani “ally” in the War on Terror.)
