The murder of Khurram Zaki this week, in the southern city of Karachi, is the latest murder in a continuing campaign by Islamist reactionary forces against left wing activists. A journalist was also killed at the same time as Khurram. This murder reinforces the climate of repression and intimidation that human rights and labour activists face, whether by forces of the state or one of the many far right groups. A call has been made by the Awami Workers Party for the left to unite and organise against the forces of fascism in Pakistan and elsewhere.
