Pakistan, "a leading ally in the war on terror."*

Mir Ghaffar Langho is among the 14,000 Baloch men who have gone missing over the past decade. "If you see the way our 160 martyred brothers have been tortured, you’d be ashamed to call yourself a Pakistani too," she says.

Langho was referring to the mutilated corpses of students, teachers, political workers, rights activists, singers, poets, labourers, and shopkeepers that have been turning up in threes and fours every few days for the last ten months. Their skulls have been drilled, eyes pulled out from sockets, limbs snapped or sliced; some have been singed and seared beyond recognition.
