]]> Banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has warned Pakistani media channels against airing “propaganda” regarding the terror group.

TTP has specifically warned Dawn News and Ary News for running “propaganda” against the militant group.

In a statement released by a spokesperson of the militant group, it said the group would “review” their policies against Pakistani media if they don’t stop running “propaganda” against them.

In 2021 as well, the proscribed TTP had issued a similar warning to national me­dia and journalists, asking them to refrain from calling them a “terrorist outfit” or they will be treated as enemies.

Pakistan has witnessed a resurgence of terrorism with the outlawed TTP targeting security officials particularly.

Journalists in Pakistan have faced serious obstacles to their work, including harassment, intimidation, assault, arbitrary arrest and detention, abduction, and death.

Earlier, Waziristan-based journalist Gohar Wazir was allegedly abducted by five unidentified men, who tortured him in captivity for more than 30 hours before releasing him on April 21.

The journalist had alleged that during the captivity, he was given electric shocks while he remained handcuffed until he conceded to the captors’ demands. The journalist’s captors had demanded that he record a video praising pro-government militants.

]]> An alleged drone attack in the Zangara area of South Waziristan killed two children, according to locals, however, Pakistan’s military has claimed that the children were killed in exchange of fire between security forces and terrorists.

According to reports, the incident occurred in a marketplace around 6pm. Two injured children were brought to Sararogha Hospital, where they succumbed to their wounds.

However, the ISPR said security forces killed eight terrorists during an operation in South Waziristan while two children also embraced martyrdom during an exchange of fire.

According to ISPR, the security forces carried out an operation after getting information about the presence of terrorists in Zangara, South Waziristan. During an intense exchange of fire between security forces and terrorists including mortar fire, eight terrorists were killed, whereas two soldiers sustained injuries, the ISPR said.

Unfortunately, two children also embraced martyrdom during the exchange of fire, according to the ISPR.

Between 2004 and 2018, the United States government attacked thousands of targets in northwest Pakistan using drones. Most of these attacks were on targets in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (now part of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province) along the Afghan border in northwest Pakistan. Many innocent civilians lost their lives in drone attacks, which were heavily criticised by human rights defenders.
