Friends, I have been detained at Zurich Airport for the last few hours and feel I am under arrest by Swiss authorities on request of the Pakistan Govt.
My wife and children are also with me in detention.
Don't worry, being detained is nothing new for the Baloch... (1/2)

(2/2)... My father spent many years in far worse conditions, but never have up.
The peaceful & legal struggle for an independent #Balochistan free of Pakstani occupation shall continue no matter what the Punjabi generals & babus of that excuse of a country plan. We'll persevere

I hv now been informed that I have been placed under a lifetime ban on entering Switzerland at the request of Islamabad. So much for the Geneva UNHRC being the world capital of human rights.
I am still in detention at Zurich Airport with my wife and children. Stay tuned 4 more

If it had been Pakstan or China, I wd have shrugged it off, but i never imagined Swiss Authorities would take mug shots of my 4-yr-old and seven-year-old children as detainees.
The long arm of the Pakistan's billionaire Army Generals sure reach far beyond their bank accounts.
