During the protests Journalist Karim Dad Chandio, Intizar Khati, Irfan Khowaja, Darya Khan Zaor, and others said that reporting truth in Pakistan was always a perilous pursuit and the lives of journalists were at stake. They said that journalists across the country were being persecuted for writing and reporting the truth.
