Today on independence day of Pakistan, we must remember the freedom struggle of #Baluchistan, Pakistan occupied kashmir.
In early 2012, brothers Noordin and Bhawal Mengal decided to make a film about the ongoing human right violations in Balochistan. It was instantly banned in Pakistan due to the controversial depiction of its security forces and subsequently contributed to a national ban of the Internet Movie Database.
The film has sparked a backlash from some titling it "anti-state propaganda" and resulted in its star Antonio Aakeel and others who had helped in the production allegedly receiving death threats. The film follows the true story of Nasir Baloch, a young student rights activist murdered by the Pakistani Army in 2011 as part of their 'kill and dump' policy in Balochistan, southwest Pakistan. Nasir Baloch is abducted and tortured by Pakistan security forces. Days later, he is shot and left for dead in the desert, but incredibly survives to tell his story. This is his true story and the story of million others both in India and Pakistan. Indian forces have committed many human rights abuses and acts of terror against Kashmiri civilian population including extrajudicial killing, rape, torture, and enforced disappearances.
