CTV's Paul Workman spoke with some Afghan women journalists about the threats they face:

Death threats against Farida Nekzad, managing editor of the Pahjwok news agency, have been streaming in, first by phone, then by e-mail.

"Again they repeated, Inshallah (if Allah wills), we will kill you soon, as soon as possible," she told CTV's Paul Workman.

After evading a kidnapping attempt, Nekzad has now begun switching cars. She has been dodging would-be assassins since Zaki's funeral, where she received her first threat for writing extensively on women's rights, drug lords and warlords. ...

Despite the menacing threats, Nekzad said the fight for Afghan women rights is worth the danger.

"The thing I respect and love is freedom," she said. "Freedom of speech and the media."
