Baba Jan

Jailed socialist candidate Baba Jan and supporters outside the Supreme Court at Gilgit on 22 May.

The voice from prison of Baba Jan, social activist and president of the Awami Workers Party (AWP) Gilgit-Baltistan, appears to be so frightening tothe Pakistan Muslim League/Nawaz (PMLN) government of Pakistan that it is using state machinery against Baba Jan's latest election bid from prison.
