Conflict in Balochistan 36
Reports of summary executions
HRCP was grieved to learn that soon after the return of their team, six FC soldiers were injured by the
explosion of a land mine. Three of them succumbed to their injuries and passed away in Sui hospital the same
evening, on January 11 th , 2006.
The facts were then verified by both sides. It was also learnt and confirmed by HRCP through independent
sources, that at the Pattar Nala, the FC raided a hamlet and burnt down some homes. On their return, three FC
soldiers were injured by the explosion of a land mine. While the soldiers were transported to Sui hospital, a
raid was conducted on the same hamlet, which had already been burnt. Those living there were preparing to
leave out of fear, but the FC apprehended 12 local men and took them to the FC headquarter, Dera Bugti.
Around four in the evening, news came of the death of three of the injured FC soldiers. It is reported, that
enraged by this news, the FC officials summarily executed all 12 persons in their custody. They then sent for
their families to collect the dead bodies. Some women dared to go but were sent back and asked to send their
male family members. Finally four days later, on January 15th, 2006 two old men of the tribe, Muhammad
Murad son of Sakib Khan and Malang son of Wazir Khan were sent to do the job. They too did not return.
The next day all 14 bodies were handed to the Tehsildar, Dera Bugti, who delivered the bodies to their families.
The names of the 12 men killed earlier are; Gulu s/o Muhammad Murad, Kamal s/o Wazir Khan,
Qadir Bux s/o Murad, Said Ali s/o Murad, Razi s/o Badu Khan, Ghulam Hussain s/o Badu Khan, Lai Bux s/
o Maujan, Lai Mohammad s/o Moujan, Mamir s/o Lai Muhammad, Amir Khan s/o Sher Khan, Zarin s/o
