‘Trail of Tragedy’:

SPO to issue report on Karachi violence

Strengthening Participatory Organization (SPO) Pakistan is issuing a report on violence in Karachi.

To focus attention on the city’s situation, SPO has compiled a factual, day to day report on the killings in Karachi from July 2010 to the end of August 2011; this chronology of violence has been compiled using the online archives of two major national newspapers.

This report presents not only incidents of violence but also the modus operandi of killing that throws some light on the complexity of the situation prevailing in this strife-ridden mega polis, which is also the commercial nerve centre of Pakistan.

SPO hopes that the report on violence in Karachi under the title, “trail of tragedy” will serve as a tool of education and soul-searching for all readers and pave the way towards finding ways and means for lasting peace in Karachi.
