Rahmatullah Shaheen, a correspondent of Daily Tawar, had also been arrested two years ago charged with terrorism allegations on December 8, 2009 when he was traveling from his office to Mach Grid station where he was employed too. His whereabout remained uknown for a month.
Shaheen was resurfaced by the local police after massive protest rallies were held across Balochistan by journalists’ different bodies. Not only were local newspapers flooded with statements from all over Balochistan demanding an immediate release of the missing journalist but demonstrations were held in all major district and Tehsil headquarters, including Quetta, Balochistan’s provincial capital, to express solidarity with Mr. Shaheen. The government had no option surfce the missing journalist in the wake of unprecedented protest rallies.
Unsurprisingly, the Bolan police said Shaheen was wanted by the police under Explosive Act as a hand grenade had subsequently been found from his residence following information disclosed by the detained journalist during the custody. However the court found him not guilty of any wrong doings and he was acquitted.
One moth ago once again he had been abducted including his four other friends Abdulfatah, Abdul Rasool, Amanullah, and Abdul by personnel of Pakistani security agencies from Dahdar Balochistan but this time he has not been lucky, his dead body riddled with bullets was found on 1 April 2011. Rahmatullah Shaheen was buried at his home village Ispelangi. Hundreds of the people participated in his funereal and paid him their last respects.
