"on 12 May last year, law enforcement officers, acting on a tip-off, intercepted a container carrying a package from the Reko Diq project, which was being escorted by Customs officials. The FIR states that the officers recovered hashish that was being smuggled in the container."

#LongRead 🇵🇰| As preparations begin to extract billions in copper & gold from #Balochistan's Reko Diq, locals are still waiting for their share, caught between geopolitical rivalry, corporate opacity, and a state that has failed them. ✍️ @Akbar_notezai thecontrapuntal.com/real-gold-digg…

In both Pakistan & the US, journalists r seen as a PR arm of the state. Not there to report all sides of the picture - as principles of journalism demand - but only to advance the state’s pov. It’s the public that pays the price of this lack of information.

“I have never in my quarter of a century in journalism seen a greater effort to criminalize and demonize speaking to people on the other side of America’s wars.” —Drop Site’s @JeremyScahill spoke to Progressive International’s @VarshaGandikota about Drop Site News being labeled “pro-terrorism” for interviewing Palestinian and Iranian figures. He said that in any society that professes to be democratic, a public has the right to understand the other side of things.

Journalist Shelly Kittleson has been abducted in Baghdad. We join our colleagues around the world in demanding her release. This is an unacceptable attack on press freedom. Journalists are essential witnesses; not political leverage. abc.net.au/news/2026-04-0…
