Breaking the Silence: An Investigation into the Murder of Zubair Mujahid
To break the silence around Zubair Mujahid’s murder, A Safer World for the Truth conducted its own investigation into the case.
We recently published: 'Breaking the Silence: An Investigation into the Murder of Zubair Mujahid.'
Zubair Mujahid was a journalist from Mirpurkhas in Pakistan whose stories exposed corruption and human rights abuses. His stories and columns were published in the Daily Jang, an Urdu language newspaper based in Karachi, Pakistan’s largest urban centre. On 23 November 2007, Zubair was shot while he was sitting on the back of his colleague’s motorcycle, driving home after a long working day.
Our investigative team reviewed the official police files and interviewed twenty witnesses with the aim of uncovering new evidence to support the road to justice for Zubair. The investigation also included an analysis of Zubair’s publications prior to the murder, and threats he received in response to his writing. This report presents the findings of our investigation.
