MIRANSHAH: A group of armed individuals violently attacked the Miranshah Press Club in North Waziristan, leaving a trail of destruction and chaos in their wake.

During the assault, they subjected club member Noor Bahram to a brutal physical attack, verbally abused him, and ransacked the press club premises. Even the security personnel present at the club were not spared, as their uniforms were torn, and they endured physical assaults.

Following the attack, Noor Bahram, who sustained injuries, was initially rushed to Miranshah Hospital. However, due to the severity of his condition, he is now being transferred to Bannu. The assailants didn’t limit their actions to physical violence; they also looted and vandalized the press club.

Safdar Dawar, the President of the Miranshah Press Club, expressed deep concern over the intrusion of the assailants into the press club premises. He called for swift action and the registration of a case against the attackers.

Journalist communities across North Waziristan are urging the Caretaker Chief Minister and the Inspector General of Police (IGP) of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to identify and hold all those responsible for the attack on the Miranshah Press Club accountable. Failure to do so promptly may lead to nationwide protests.
