Pakistan human rights lawyer fears military plot to kill her This year she clashed with the country's secretive intelligence services in the so-called Memogate affair, raising concerns about the safety of Husain Haqqani, Pakistan's former ambassador to Washington, and fears that he would be pressured into making a statement by the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) directorate. And she criticised the military's policies in the insurgency-hit province of Baluchistan, where armed forces are accused of widespread killings, enforced disappearances and torture. During a press conference, she said critics of Pakistan's powerful military establishment had been subject to frequent harassment and cited the example of Saleem Shahzad, a journalist murdered last year after reporting on possible links between the ISI and militants. However, she said she would not follow other activists out of the country. "I will not leave," she said. My ancestors are buried here and my life is here. Ali Hasan Dayan, Pakistan director of Human Rights Watch, said: "Pakistani authorities should urgently and thoroughly investigate the alleged plot against Asma Jahangir and hold all those responsible to account, regardless of position or rank. A threat against Jahangir is a threat to all those in Pakistan who struggle for human rights and the rule of law.
