A Deadly Week For Journalists In Pakistan!


By Rafaqat Gondal (Pakistan)


Nadeem Hyder, a correspondent for Daily Dunya, was shot dead by two unknown assailants in Kaliki Mandi area of Hafizabad on Friday, October 3 (2014). The killers fled the scene. Local police are said to have registered the case and begun an investigation.

Two days later, on Sunday, October 5 (2014), unknown gunmen shot dead Yaqoob Shehzad while he visited the office of a friend in Gujranwala City in Pakistan's Punjab Province. Shehzad, a correspondent of TV channel Express News, was shot in the head three times and was pronounced dead upon arrival at a hospital. According to eyewitnesses, the gunmen arrived at the office and opened indiscriminate fire, which also injured an office assistant. The assailants fled from the scene immediately.

Shehzad, a father of four, had been working with Express News since the channel was launched in 2008. He was also the chairperson of the Hafizabad Press Club.
