Geneva
The United Nation voiced alarm on Tuesday at growing attacks on journalists and activists in Pakistan, urging Islamabad to protect those facing threats and investigate any violence.
The UN rights office said it was growing increasingly concerned at numerous instances of incitement to violence, both online and off, particularly against women and minority journalists and activists, as well as physical attacks. It pointed to the case of journalist Shaheena Shaheen, who was shot dead last Saturday by unidentified men in Balochistan’s Kech district.—Agencies
