Balochistan, a vast and resource-rich province straddling the borders of Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, has been plagued by a long-standing conflict marked by human rights violations and systematic targeting of its Baloch population.   More information &amp;nbsp;   Several members of the Baloch community describe what is happening to people in Balochistan now. \u201cPakistan is currently engaged in a sinister war against killing Baloch people; that is understandable, because Baloch people are asking for their party to be independent.\u201d The capital of Pakistan, Karachi, is in the   Balochistan area. The deep sea port in Karachi on the Arabian Sea is crucial to the Pakistan economy. China\u2019s completion of its Silk Road project needs this port. Balochistan predates the creation of Pakistan in 1947.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;   Journalism is a  dangerous profession in Pakistan, particularly in Balochistan. According to a report by Freedom Network, an independent national media watchdog, at least 53 journalists were murdered in Pakistan from 2012 to 2022. Only in two cases have convictions been obtained. Most journalists concede that \u201cWe write what the authorities want us to write. We can\u2019t present the real facts.\u201d Some examples of this violence are detailed in this report.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;   #Baluchistan #Genocide #Pakistan #Iran #BritishImperialism #HumanRights &amp;nbsp;   Recorded 2023-08-08&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Duration 36:34 &amp;nbsp;   Our published content is on our podcast host  http:\/\/democracycast.libsyn.com&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;   Send Listener feedback by sending an email to:&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;  democracycast@earthlink.net&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;   More Social Media Links for Democracy Watch News &amp;nbsp;  http:\/\/www.DemocracyWatchNews.org&amp;nbsp;   &amp;nbsp;  https:\/\/facebook.com\/dwatchnews&amp;nbsp;   &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/democracywatchnews\/&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;  https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/35464830&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;  https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCRhWxBiRG-01eLS9A_vlVuA&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;   We also augment the news on Twitter globally  Asia-Eastern   Augments\/covers news for West Asia, North Africa &amp;amp; Central Asia   #democracy #HumanRights #PressFreedom #environment #OpenGov  Asia-Pacific   Augments\/covers news for South &amp;amp; SE Asia, &amp;amp; The Pacific   &amp;nbsp;#HumanRights  #PressFreedom  #Environment  #OpenGov  #News  #East  Europe   Augments\/covers news throughout Europe   &amp;nbsp;#Democracy  #HumanRights  #PressFreedom  #PublicPolicy  #MediaEthics  #environment  #transparency  Latin America &amp;amp; South Atlantic   Augments\/covers news for Latin America &amp;amp; South Atlantic.   #HumanRights #OpenGov #PressFreedom #NonviolentConflict #Environment in #SouthAmerica #Caribbean #CentralAmerica.
