🇵🇰 Pakistan Puts Journalist on Terrorism Watchlist After He Interviews Families of Children Killed by Its Army 🔹Pakistani authorities have placed journalist Danish Irshad on its Fourth Schedule, designating him a suspected terrorist and subjecting him to restrictions on his travel, his banking, and his access to financial services. 🔹Irshad tells Drop Site there is no court order behind the listing and there has been no trial. The Fourth Schedule is an administrative designation under Pakistan’s Anti-Terrorism Act (not a criminal conviction). 🔹Irshad began reporting in Islamabad in 2015 has covered Azad Jammu and Kashmir for nearly a decade, most recently interviewing families whose children were killed by Pakistan’s armed forces. 🔹His listing, issued by the Azad Jammu and Kashmir Home Department without specific allegations against him, is part of a widening crackdown that has swept journalists and activists onto the watchlist since the June ban of the Jammu & Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee. 🔹He told Drop Site News: “Adding someone’s name to the Fourth Schedule without any court order and without any trial raises a serious question about the state’s credibility. How did a journalist’s speaking and writing become an act of terrorism? Declaring anyone guilty without trial can never be justified.”
