Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Arrest Inflames U.S.-Pakistan Tensions

HeadlineFeb 22, 2011

The arrest of Raymond Davis has set off a diplomatic crisis between the United States and Pakistan and has provided the world a glimpse of the secret U.S. war in Pakistan. Pakistani authorities claim Davis acted with excessive force in shooting the men 10 times from both inside and outside of his car. One of the victims was shot in the back as he fled. Upon his arrest, Davis was found in possession surveillance equipment, large amounts of ammunition and a camera that included photos of madrassas and prohibited installations along the border of India.
