Killing of Polio Workers

8 فروری، 2013

polio-workerIt’s quite sad to hear the bru­tal attacks on anti-polio teams in Peshawar & Karachi. Attacks were prob­a­bly plot­ted for sus­pend­ing the anti-polio cam­paign that unfor­tu­nate­ly worked. Most of the vic­tims have been women. The inci­dent seems to be a revenge of ter­ror­ists’ deba­cle in recent attack on Peshawar air­port.

Such attacks are sim­ply inhu­mane and inex­cus­able. It has posed a risk of life­long dis­abil­i­ty for many chil­dren. Par­a­lyz­ing chil­dren as a war tac­tic is shame­ful & we strong­ly con­demn them.
