For years, Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) has stood in compassionate support for the human rights of those in Balochistan, whose human rights and dignity have been abused by the persecution from Pakistan extremists both outside and inside the establishment.  However, R.E.A.L. wants to be perfectly clear that our support for Baloch people is for PEACEFUL, NON-VIOLENT support for human rights.  R.E.A.L. rejects, without qualification, all militant organization efforts as well as acts of violence.  News media reports on the August 30, 2015 attack on the Jewani airport (aka Jiwani airport) in Balochistan’s Gwadar District have been very disturbing and inconsistent.  However, some Pakistan media are attributing this act to a militant group.  R.E.A.L.’s position is and will always be in support of PEACEFUL, NON-VIOLENT support for human rights and rejection of militant and violent acts.

It was just less than four months ago that R.E.A.L. was reporting on the violent terrorist attack  and murder of Balochistan human rights activist and social NGO worker Ms. Sabeen Manhmud.  Our call for PEACEFUL, NON-VIOLENT progress in human rights is the same now as it was then, as it will always be.

Our MORAL COMPASS will keep us on the right path of human rights for all. We can not defeat persecution by becoming persecutors. We can not defy hatred by promoting hatred of others. We can not stop unjust violence by seeking a path of violence ourselves. If we have human rights campaigns based on our hearts, we cannot and we MUST NOT spread hate and violence against our fellow human beings, even those who persecute us.

R.E.A.L. has rejected, continues to reject, and will always reject the actions of ALL terrorist organizations, including the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA).   We do not, will not, and can not accept their actions of violence, terrorism, and killings as any part of a cause to promote or advance human rights, justice, or liberty.
