In Afghanistan, an Afghan journalist has been killed in her home in Parwan province. Zakia Zaki had recently faced threats from local warlords to shut down her radio station or be killed.

Habiba Zaki, Zakia Zaki’s sister: “She was a hard-working woman. She was an intellectual fighting for freedom and peace. She was killed because she was working hard to express the voice of women, to bring up the voice of freedom and peace. That is why she was killed and she is martyred.”

Zakia Zaki is the second female Afghan journalist to be murdered in the last week. News anchor Sanga Amach was killed by unknown gunmen Friday in Kabul.
