Pakistan is a very hard place for workers to organise with enemies from many sectors of society. Being a journalist and just trying to do your job is a dangerous task, with over 50 journalists killed in the last 10 years in Pakistan. Last week, Hamid Mir a television journalist, survived being shot 6 times. The response by the Pakistani Secret Service was to call for the shutdown of the TV station where Hamid Mir works. Only a united response by workers will put a stop to these murders.
