Zohra Yusuf, chairperson of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, said: "The sharp rise in killings and other forms of violence against journalists is linked directly to the fact that in almost all cases in the last few years, where journalists have been killed or attacked on account of their work, the culprits remain unidentified and unpunished.
"[11] Rupert Colville, a representative of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, said: "None of the cases [of journalists killed in 2010 and 2011] have been fully or satisfactorily investigated.
In Baluchistan alone, there were disturbing reports that 25 people – this is a mix of journalists, writers, students and human rights defenders – have been extra-judicially killed within the first four months of 2011.
