Red with national flag in canton. Ratio 2:3.

Equal to national flag, but ratio 1:2.
Yesterday I saw on the news a report on the murder of Pakistani politician Murtazi Bhutto (sp?), brother of prime minister Benazir Bhutto, and one of the strongest oppositions leaders.
There was a short scene from archives of one of his speeches a few days ago, where he sat at the table on which there was a flag I haven't seen before. I suppose that it is the flag of his party (which I don't remember what it is called). The flag was a vertical tricolour of red (at the hoist) - black - green with a white crescent and star very similar in shape to the one on Pakistani national flag.
The flag looks quite dark with this choice of colours, but quite effective if you ask me.

This would appear very similar to an old flag of Libya (1950-1969), which was red-black-green in three stripes, but *horizontal* (with the black stripe twice as wide as the other stripes). There was a white crescent and star on the black stripe.

This is a flag of the Baluch people (that live in Pakistan, Afganistan and Iran), researched by Juanjo Gonzalez. It is a flag that was used for a revolutionary movement some years ago, but he is not sure that is current.
