This morning we have received the news from Pakistan of the arrest of comrade Hameed Khan,
the leader of the strike of the Baluchistan Civil Secretariat Employees Association,
which we reported on yesterday. This is an extremely serious situation. As the main strike
leader, Hameed faces severe torture at the hands of the state. We urge all readers
to give this matter the maximum publicity.

The strike of the CSEA is still continuing. The Baluchistan Government under pressure
from strike and protest messages and the international solidarity campaign has started
negotiating with the strike leaders. Yesterday's negotiations failed because the
government is not accepting some of the demands.
