In Pakistan, a leading human rights activist has been shot dead in Karachi. Sabeen Mahmud was the director of the Second Floor, a progressive community space. She was shot while leaving the venue after hosting a talk on the disappearances of activists in Balochistan, where the Pakistani army has been waging a decade-long campaign. The event was initially set to take place in Lahore, but was reportedly canceled and relocated following threats from Pakistan’s intelligence services.
