The Kill List

When human rights activist Karima Baloch is found drowned off the shores of Toronto, an investigation into her mysterious death leads all the way back to Pakistan, the country she had recently fled. In this six-part series, host Mary Lynk explores the rampant abductions and killings of dissidents in Pakistan, the dangers that follow those who flee to the West, and a terrifying intelligence agency with tentacles around the globe. How did Karima die? And would Pakistan really carry out an assassination far beyond its borders? This is a story that a powerful state doesn’t want you to know.

    Deeply agonizing
    From the very first episode, this podcast reels you in. Gives one pause about how much we take for granted in the freedoms in the “free world”. It’s a shame we don’t have the plight of the Balochs highlighted & spotlighted in our news media. I admire the courage of everyone fighting for their freedom and rights! May they see an end to the tragic ‘disappeared’ phenomenon.

    Informative Podcast
    I like podcasts that provide a learning experience. This is an interesting albeit at times dramatic show about Pakistan and it’s persecution of ethnic minorities. I learned something.

    Well done and powerful story
    When stories take one person’s story and connect them to a larger issue, it’s impactful. Excellent journalism, investigations and storytelling.

    Very important, moving, educational, beautiful and tragic
    Before listening to this podcast, I did not know about the circumstances that have driven these dissidents into exile from Pakistan or about the history of these independent peoples within the territory of Pakistan created post-colonialism. It is a very moving story. Their names will live on as selfless and brave heroes.

    I have never….
    Been this touched by a podcast in my life. The heartbreaking sacrifice made by dissidents to free their people from a brutal regime is a lesson in how even the most seemingly insignificant people can impact the world. The world must know their stories and lives. If the goal from Pakistan was to silence their truth, they have failed. You can’t hide atrocities in this age and the more people that die will only make their human rights violations more apparent. Do the right thing. Stop exploiting this region for their resources while ignoring the plight of the people living there.

    Kill List
    Was enjoying until listen with free trial kept preventing me from listening. Look I’m fine with ads. If you are not making enough $$ ask for more ad revenue.
