Multan: 400 dead bodies found on top of a hospital building in Pakistan’s Punjab province are reported to be Baloch or Pashtun. The decomposed bodies were found on top of the Punjab Nishtar Hospital in Multan on Saturday. The chests of the dead bodies were cut open and the internal organs removed.
Large ‘salwar’ like clothes were found on the dead bodies. The media quoted a doctor as saying that this indicated that the victims were either Baloch or Pashtun. When the body was examined, it was clear that the people lived in the mountains or similar rugged areas. At the same time, the doctor says that the hospital authorities are not ready to conduct the DNA test and are trying to close the matter.
These are believed to be the bodies of those abducted by the Pakistani forces from Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces. The dead bodies were found by Chaudhary Zaman Gujjar, the chief minister’s advisor. Gujjar said that during the visit to the hospital, a person came and said, ‘If you want to do good, go to the mortuary and check’, and when he went, the staff was not ready to open the mortuary. They opened the door only when they said they will file an FIR against you if you don’t open now, Gujjar added.
When asked about seeing so many dead bodies abandoned, the doctors replied that they were used for the study of medical students.
At the same time, Baloch separatist leaders demanded that international human rights organizations conduct an independent investigation into the incident. They also stated that DNA test should be done. The leaders also informed that the United Nations Human Rights Organization (UNHRC) has repeatedly raised the issue of disappearances of Baloch and Pashtuns.
