Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

42 Shia Muslims Killed in Attack on Convoy in Pakistan’s Northwest

HeadlineNov 22, 2024

In Pakistan, at least 42 people were killed and more than a dozen critically injured Thursday when gunmen opened fire on a convoy of 200 vehicles traveling through a remote northwestern region near the Afghan border. Witnesses say about 10 assailants appeared to target Shia Muslims, first attacking a police escort before firing indiscriminately on buses and cars. It’s the latest in a series of deadly sectarian clashes between majority Sunnis and minority Shias in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region that have killed dozens of people in recent months.
