December 21, 2011 15:59

For the second consecutive year, Pakistan has been identified as the most dangerous country for journalists with the killing of seven scribes there in 2011
out of a total of 43 murdered worldwide.

The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists said, in the past five years 29 journalists had been killed in Pakistan in relation to their work.

"... the CPJ research shows Pakistan to be among the worst countries in the world in bringing the killers of journalists to justice," the body said in its year-end report.

"The best known case in Pakistan this year involved Saleem Shahzad, a reporter for Asia Times online who died in May after writing a report which alleged that al-Qaeda had infiltrated Pakistan navy," the CPJ said.
