Balochistan has some of the most remote communities in Pakistan, miserable social indicators and a deeply traditional society where many women, particularly in the countryside, are rarely allowed to leave the home.
In September Human Rights Watch said more than 100 Shiites had been killed in sectarian attacks in Balochistan this year.
Pakistan’s Chief Justice, Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry, has repeatedly voiced concern over law and order in Baluchistan in recent months, saying the province was “burning” and demanding to know what action the security services were taking.
