Non-vaccination of children in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) could spoil the anti-polio initiative in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Dawn reports on April 4. The immunisation of children through Sehat Ka Insaf programme can’t protect children against poliovirus for long as far as children in FATA would stay without oral polio vaccine (OPV). Two new cases, one each from North Waziristan Agency and Bannu, were recorded on April 2, bringing the total number of nationwide cases to 41. This also worried the authorities in KP, who are carrying out immunisation campaigns. According to the National Institute of Health, Islamabad, Pakistan had recorded only six polio cases till this date in 2013 against 41 this year, which reflects an increase of 900 per cent. Children in KP will remain at risk of polio despite immunisation till the Government makes arrangements to administer OPV to children in North Waziristan and Khyber Agency. The rapid increase in polio cases in 2014 poses a serious challenge to the health authorities and the UN agencies engaged in immunisation campaigns. Of the country’s total tally so far this year (2014), FATA has 33 polio cases, KP six and Sindh one.

A total of 5,573 acts of terror across the country have cost the lives of 8484 people, including ten foreigners, during the last four years, disclosed the Government in the National Assembly on April 4, reports Daily Times. Also among the terror victims are 185 children, the Federal Ministry of Interior told the Lower House of Parliament in a written reply to the queries of Pakistan People’s Party’s (PPP) Dr Nafeesa Shah.

In number of human loss, FATA topped the list where 3240 persons lost their lives in these terrorism acts followed by KP with 2311 human lives losses and 1985 in Balochistan. The number of persons killed in Punjab stood at 643 and in Sindh the number was 313.The most tragic figures came about the children in these terrorists attacks that came to 185 in last five years based on the data received from KP, Islamabad, Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Gilgit Baltistan. The Government also informed the House that 60 proscribed organizations are being kept under watch and its cadre enlisted under Schedule IV of Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) are being strictly monitored.

Secret Agencies have alerted the Police that militants opposed to the Government and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) peace talks are planning terrorist activities in Islamabad, Peshawar and Quetta, reports Dawn quoting Police and Interior Ministry Officials on April 8 (today). They did not know when the militants would strike, but the officials said that a new group Ansar-ul-Hind would claim responsibility for the attacks. “Although peace talks are in progress, we are taking necessary measures to counter terrorism in the cities,” said one official, adding, “Law enforcing agencies will be the main target of the terrorists, and in the case of their failure, any other official installation or public place.” “TTP will choose the targets and the informal groups under its umbrella will provide support to the Ansar-ul-Hind activists with weapons and other materials,” he added.

Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on April 8 said that it is a matter of concern that the Government is delaying on TTP's three key demands while the Taliban are seriously holding a ceasefire, reports The Express Tribune. The TTP has called for the establishment of a ‘peace zone’, release of ‘non-combatant prisoners’ and an end to crackdown against Taliban members across the country, TTP ‘spokesperson’ Shahidullah Shahid said in a two-page letter addressed to the media on April 8, 2014. “We handed over a list of our non-combatant prisoners to the Government [negotiating] committee but still no prisoner has been released while statements of Government negotiators and senior officials on ‘peace zone’ show a lack of confidence among Government Departments,” he said. Unabated action against TTP members their arrests, torture in custody and mutilated bodies has raised questions about the ceasefire, Shahid said, adding that the Taliban showed flexibility to provide an environment conducive for negotiation…but in response, the TTP has only received dead bodies, arrests and torture of its members. Further, the coordinator of TTP’s intermediary committee, Maulana Yousaf Shah, appealed to both the TTP and the Government to extend the ceasefire for an indefinite period for fruitful dialogue. He said the committee has succeeded in the first two phases of peace initiative – the coordination stage and the face-to-face meeting. “The third phase involves practical steps, and the Government has assured us that it’ll take practical steps,” Shah said in a meeting in Shabqadar tehsil (revenue unit) of Charsadda District in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. “In the last meeting, the Government assured us that it’ll release Taliban non-combatants before the second round of face-to-face talks,” Shah said. “[But] the 19 prisoners the Government freed didn’t figure on the list provided by the TTP. They were Mehsud tribesmen who were detained on suspicion and released by South Waziristan’s Political Agent.” He said that the Taliban have handed over a list of 765 non-combatant prisoners, hailing from tribal regions and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and were mostly relatives of the Taliban. Thirty of them have been cleared and might be released, he added.

The Provincial Government admitted that 13 primary and middle schools for boys and girls had been shut down on the outskirts of Peshawar due to militancy. According to the details, 28 schools have been closed down in Battagram, 14 in Charsadda, 24 in Kohistan, 15 in Hangu, 15 in Dera Ismail Khan, three in Swabi and two in Tank. It said 39 schools had been shut down in Swat since 2010 when flash floods played havoc with the area, while two more schools had been abandoned due to militancy in the District. However, opposition Member of Provincial Assembly (MPA) Mufti Syed Janan, said figures provided by the Department were incorrect. He said that 47 schools had been declared dysfunctional in Peshawar only due to militancy and shortage of teachers. Further, he pointed out that the Department had submitted written reply to the Assembly Secretariat in February, 2013, in which 385 schools, including 295 for girls, were declared dysfunctional in the Province. Janan demanded action against officials for producing wrong data about schools.

The Federal Government on April 27 directed the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) to curtail the operations of Afghan cellular phones in Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) and parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) because of security issues, reports Dawn. Informed sources said that more than 40,000 SIMs (Subscriber Identification Module) of Afghan mobile telephone companies were operating inside Pakistani territory and using international roaming services. Apart from this, the SIMs also work on their local Afghan networks in certain regions of FATA which are close to the Afghan border. It was revealed that the Afghan SIMs have been used in many kidnapping-for-ransom cases in Pakistan. “PTA has been directed to curtail these operations,” said Federal Minister for Interior Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, adding, “During December 2013, around 17,000 Afghan SIMs were recovered by FIA after a raid on an illegal Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) set-up in Peshawar”. He confirmed that Afghan cellular SIMs were being used inside Pakistani territory and were suspected of being used in serious crimes such as extortion threats, illegal VoIP activity and by terrorist networks for communication.

An Amnesty International report, titled ‘A bullet has been chosen for you: Attacks on journalists in Pakistan’, is being released on April 30 (today), revealing that at least 34 journalists have been killed as a direct consequence of their work since the democratically elected government was restored in March 2008, reports The Express Tribune. It further states that the violence is not limited to killings, many more journalists have escaped assassination attempts or been threatened, harassed, abducted or tortured. The threat by the militant groups, including the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), spreads from Karachi (Sindh) to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and the tribal areas. In those conflict-ridden regions as well as Balochistan, these groups and ethnic Baloch armed groups openly threaten reporters with death and attack them. The report describes how the Pakistani authorities have almost completely failed to stem human rights abuses against media workers or to bring those responsible to account. “The government has promised to improve the dire situation for journalists, including by establishing a public prosecutor tasked with investigating attacks against journalists. But few concrete steps have been taken,” said David Griffiths, Amnesty International’s Deputy Asia-Pacific Director. Griffiths added, “The range of threats means that journalists are placed in an impossible position, where virtually every story could put them at risk of reprisal from several sides. It also has a chilling effect on freedom of expression and is increasingly leading to self-censorship".
