Pakis­tan: Jour­na­list mur­de­red over human rights repor­ting.
Jour­na­list Amir Bakhsh Brohi was mur­de­red for repor­ting human rights vio­la­tions by police and power­ful figu­res in Sindh pro­vince. The jour­na­list was dist­rict repor­ter for Kawish, the lar­gest Sindh-language daily news­pa­per in Sindh pro­vince, and for TV sta­tion KTN.

He was shot five times by three uniden­ti­fied men in Shi­kar­pur, accor­ding to the Pakis­tan Press Foun­da­tion (PPF). Brohi was taken to the local hos­pi­tal, where he died from his injuries.

Local jour­na­lists believe the mur­der was in response to Brohi’s repor­ting on sen­si­tive issues that may have ange­red local police or feu­dal landlords.

Brohi is the second jour­na­list to have been kil­led in Sindh Pro­vince in the last year.
