Khadim Hussain Shaikh
Shooting
Khadim on his way to office from his house along with his brother Ishaque on a motorbike when unidentified gunmen intercepted them and shot him from a close range.
He died on the spot while his brother received bullet injuries and has been admitted to hospital. The journalists of the area held a protest demonstration against the murder.
Secretary General PFUJ Mazhar Abbas in a statement said, "It appeared to be a target killing. Khadim was the 29th journalist killed in Pakistan in the last eight years, which has made Pakistan one of the most dangerous places for reporting." He demanded immediate attention of the government.
