Due to the rising death rate of journalists in 2012, 23 press clubs shut down in the province for more than two weeks due to threats and warnings from various affiliations. President of the Balochistan Union of Journalists, Khalil Ahmed said, 43 journalists have been killed in Balochistan, including by bomb blasts and targeted killings. An additional 25 journalists lost their lives in targeted killings while reporting in conflict zones in Balochistan. The government of Balochistan is being blamed for failing to provide security to the journalists. According to Anwar Ul Haq Kakar, spokesperson for the Balochistan government, “the government has made a security plan for the journalists, media networks, and newspaper agencies in the province. We will give protection to the news agencies who are involved in the distribution of newspapers. The government will help them in every possible way, for example, we will give the following security through Frontier Corps and Police.” Since the 2012 murders, safety regulations and guidelines have not been implemented for journalists. In fact, during the year of 2016, 728 journalists were killed within Pakistan and violence against journalists continues.
