Ethnically targeted killings have become common in Pakistan to the extent where cases even go unreported in the media
QUETTA: Although it is not just the minorities that have been targeted and killed in Pakistan, it is certainly due to incidents like the killing of a Sikh human-rights activist in Peshawar that has led the US commission on religious freedoms recommending that Pakistan be declared a ‘country of special concern’ while placing it on the special watch list.
Ethnically targeted killings have become common in Pakistan to the extent where cases even go unreported in the media. To save its image, it is important that such cases are taken to courts and are legally carried out, so that the lost faith of the masses in the legal system is restored alongside Pakistan’s tarnished international image.
