Baloch Students Organization
The Baloch Students Organization (BSO; Urdu: بلوچ اسٹوڈنٹس آرگنائزیشن) is a designated terrorist organization that campaigns for the independence of Pakistan's Balochistan Province. The BSO was founded as a student movement on 26 November 1967 in Karachi, Pakistan. The BSO politically mobilized Baloch students, agitating against the Pakistani state. The Pakistani government banned the BSO on 15 March 2013 for allegedly engaging in terrorism. Another designated terrorist organization, the Balochistan Liberation Army, grew out of the BSO. In the 1970s, Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto's crackdown on Baloch nationalism was met with violent resistance in Balochistan Province. Radicalized BSO militants fought for the Communist Baluch People's Liberation Front in Afghanistan against the Bhutto-allied Mujahideen from 1973 to 1977. It is the largest ethnic Baloch student body in the country.
Organizational structure
BSO is divided into three factions: BSO Pajjar, BSO Mangal and BSO Azad.
StB
In former Czechoslovakia, State Security (Czech: Státní bezpečnost, Slovak: Štátna bezpečnosť) or StB / ŠtB, was a plainclothes secret (political) police force from 1945 to its dissolution in 1990. Serving as an intelligence and counter-intelligence agency, it dealt with any activity that could possibly be considered anti-communist.
History
From its establishment on June 30, 1945, onward, the StB was bound to and controlled by the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia. The communists used the StB as an instrument of power and repression: the StB spied on and intimidated political opponents of the Party and forged false criminal evidence against them, facilitating the Communists rise to power in 1948. Even then, before Czechoslovakia became a communist state, the StB forced confessions by means of torture, including the use of drugs, blackmail and kidnapping. After the coup d'état of 1948, these practices developed under the tutelage of Soviet advisors. Other common practices included telephone tapping, permanent watching of apartments, reading mail, house searches, surveillance, arrests and indictment for so-called "subversion of the republic".
