Who was Munir Ahmed Shakir?

Munir Ahmed Shakir was an online journalist for the Online News Network and was also a TV correspondent for Sabzbaat, also known as Sabzbagh, a Baluch television station. He was an activist and was murdered in Khuzdar, Pakistan, where there is an ongoing conflict between Pakistan and the Baluchistan region of Pakistan. Four other journalists had died in Bolochistan in the last year as the violence there has escalated and journalists have been targeted while the perpetrators enjoy impunity. The killing of Balochi journalists, like Shakir, is one of the drivers behind Pakistan's high murder rate for journalists in 2010 and 2011.
