Reporters Without Borders is outraged by the failure to punish the murder of Zakia Zaki, the director Sada-e-Solh (Peace Radio), exactly one year ago. Her husband tells the organisation there has been no progress in the official investigation, probably because of pressure from those who ordered her murder. Zaki was shot in her home in Jabalussaraj, in the northern province of Parwan, in the early hours of 6 June 2007.
“Today we pay tribute to an outstanding woman who was one of the symbols of the renaissance of independent media in Afghanistan,” Reporters Without Borders said. “We support her family’s efforts to keep her memory alive and to demand justice.”
The organisation added: “The impunity in this case is outrageous and has paved the way for a new wave of violence against women journalists. More than 15 Afghan women journalists have been attacked, threatened or reduced to silence since her murder. We call for an immediate reaction from the Afghan government.”
