Non-vaccination of children in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) could spoil the anti-polio initiative in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Dawn reports on April 4. The immunisation of children through Sehat Ka Insaf programme can’t protect children against poliovirus for long as far as children in FATA would stay without oral polio vaccine (OPV). Two new cases, one each from North Waziristan Agency and Bannu, were recorded on April 2, bringing the total number of nationwide cases to 41. This also worried the authorities in KP, who are carrying out immunisation campaigns. According to the National Institute of Health, Islamabad, Pakistan had recorded only six polio cases till this date in 2013 against 41 this year, which reflects an increase of 900 per cent. Children in KP will remain at risk of polio despite immunisation till the Government makes arrangements to administer OPV to children in North Waziristan and Khyber Agency. The rapid increase in polio cases in 2014 poses a serious challenge to the health authorities and the UN agencies engaged in immunisation campaigns. Of the country’s total tally so far this year (2014), FATA has 33 polio cases, KP six and Sindh one.

An Amnesty International report, titled ‘A bullet has been chosen for you: Attacks on journalists in Pakistan’, is being released on April 30 (today), revealing that at least 34 journalists have been killed as a direct consequence of their work since the democratically elected government was restored in March 2008, reports The Express Tribune. It further states that the violence is not limited to killings, many more journalists have escaped assassination attempts or been threatened, harassed, abducted or tortured. The threat by the militant groups, including the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), spreads from Karachi (Sindh) to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and the tribal areas. In those conflict-ridden regions as well as Balochistan, these groups and ethnic Baloch armed groups openly threaten reporters with death and attack them. The report describes how the Pakistani authorities have almost completely failed to stem human rights abuses against media workers or to bring those responsible to account. “The government has promised to improve the dire situation for journalists, including by establishing a public prosecutor tasked with investigating attacks against journalists. But few concrete steps have been taken,” said David Griffiths, Amnesty International’s Deputy Asia-Pacific Director. Griffiths added, “The range of threats means that journalists are placed in an impossible position, where virtually every story could put them at risk of reprisal from several sides. It also has a chilling effect on freedom of expression and is increasingly leading to self-censorship".
