Why Baluchis Are Fretting and Fuming In Pakistan Baluchis of Pakistan are Muslims by birth and faith but are neglected and discriminated in the Islamic Republic. They have taken their case to the global human rights forum in Geneva, saying that extra judicial killings and the phenomenon of missing persons (people held by the secret services without due process of law) have reduced them to second class citizens.
