When a journalist disappears in Pakistan, it is a warning to all
those working on sensitive issues in the country. In Pakistan,
these are mainly issues concerning the military. The "state within
the state" has a firm grip on the media, journalists who dare to
criticize the army are threatened with consequences. People are
forcibly abducted and often tortured. The Pakistani journalist
Zahra Kazmi has not let go of this topic for years. She researches,
documents and tries to find out why people disappear and, above
all, where they are. And this is not without consequences - she
also receives threats to stop her research. She talks about how the
situation in Pakistan is getting worse - but why she still retains
hope for a better future. Zahra Kazmi is a former fellow of
Reporters Without Borders' Berlin Scholarship Program and completed
three months of digital security training in Berlin in 2021:
