Pak cameramen threatened for shooting killings

June 17, 2011 10:56

In Pakistan, two cameramen who caught on video, cases of extrajudicial killings by paramilitary police force personnel, say they have been threatened for having recorded the incidents.

Last week, Pakistan was shaken by a graphic video that showed members of a paramilitary police force shooting an unarmed teenager suspected of stealing in a park in Karachi.

The TV cameraman - Abdul Salam Soomro - who recorded the shooting received death threats, and came under intense pressure to say that the chilling video, which was broadcast across Pakistan, was fabricated.
