Press Release

Washington, D.C: It is with great sorrow and regret that we announce the assassination of legendary Baloch leader Nawab Akbar Bugti by Pakistani Military forces. According to recently released BBC news on August 26, 2006, Nawab Akbar Bugti was killed in a battle between Baloch fighters and Pakistan Military near the town of Dera Bugti in Balochistan.

This is yet another blatant attempt by the oppressive Pakistani Military regime of suppressing the rights of Baloch people while the world stands silent. Contrary to the regime's evil intention, this act of terror will galvanize all the oppressed peoples of Pakistan and strengthen their resolve to stand up for their just rights.

The World Sindhi Institute reiterates its support and solidarity with oppressed Baloch nation.
