Evicted Pakistanis demand repatriation to their hometown to vote

In this Monday, May 6, 2013 photo, men from the Baluch Bugti tribe who were evicted from their villages after their leader was killed by the regime of Pakistan’s military ruler Pervez Musharraf, rally demanding repatriation to their native towns to take part in May 11 polls in Islamabad, Pakistan. The graffiti on walls around this Pakistani provincial capital hold a dire warning ahead of this weekend’s national elections, “Voting means death.” It’s a very real threat: Over recent weeks at least six people have been killed and nearly 40 wounded in bombings and grenade attacks targeting candidates. Banner reads “their martyred leader will long live.” <AP Photo/B.K. Bangash>
