Don’t touch me. Don’t touch me,” warned Ahmar Masti Khan, Washington’s Baloch activist journalist, “don’t touch me. I am American.” He had just flabbergasted Pakistan’s visiting Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif, by heckling him at the United States Institute for Peace (USIP) on October 22nd. Two strong African-American security guards immediately overpowered the man who was shouting, “Stop war crimes in Balochistan” and then they whisked him away.
