Journalist Killed for Wanting Peace



A famous journalist in India, Shujaat Bukhari, has been shot and killed. Even the chief minister of Kashmir, her political rival, and the home minister of India felt grief over his death. Being an advocate for peace and moderation, it is believed that is exactly the reason why he was killed. BBC News explains the risk for journalists being in a region involved in territorial disputes and fights, saying “he was always aware of the dangers of his chosen profession.” The story written on BBC News also uses a quote from Bukhari prior to his murder, "In Kashmir being a journalist, and [especially] a successful one, means having more enemies than friends."
