The recent crackdown on oil smuggling into Pakistan has brought to the fore the illegal transportation of fuel through the Pakistan-Iran border. Despite the crackdown, however, smuggling is continuing, simply because the locals have to earn a living.
One of the men involved in the illegal business is Zahid Baloch, who is in his 20s and hails from Balochistan’s Kharan district. Two days ago, he went all the way to the Iran border in Panjgur district to bring back diesel in his Iranian vehicle called Zamyad.

From small groups in downtown Toronto, and outside the Canadian Embassy in Washington DC, to huge marches in the streets of Karachi, Pakistan, there are growing calls for an investigation into the death of Karima Mehrab Baloch, a 37-year-old Pakistani national living in Canada.
On Dec. 21, Karima Mehrab went for a walk alone along Toronto’s lakefront and never returned. Her husband reported her missing, and a day later, police found her body in the water. Less than 24 hours later, they concluded it was a “non-criminal death” with no foul play suspected. The Toronto Police Service declined to explain more.
