Abdul Razzak Johra

Six armed men dragged reporter Johra from his home in the
Mianwali district of Punjab and shot him, according to the Pakistan Federal
Union of Journalists. The attack came a day after his report on local drug
trafficking was aired nationally.

Colleagues said Johra, 45, who had done earlier reports on
the drug trade, had received threats telling him to stop covering the issue.
Police took no evident steps to investigate the murder, according to local
journalists.
