The Kill List - No spoilers!
On December 22nd 2020 Karima Baloch was found drowned near her home in Toronto but her mysterious death isn’t like most. Baloch was a well-known dissident of Pakistan notable for speaking out against the oppressive government. Her death comes at the end of years of threats from the state. Coupled with the unexplained deaths and kidnappings of other activists and a leaked alleged kill list of those the Pakistani government wants to target, many think Baloch’s death was actually a homicide. In this shocking six part series host Mary Lynk investigates how dangerous speaking out against the Pakistani government is, the country’s horrifying intelligence agency, and whether or not its leaders are capable of killings of individuals of foreign soil. Under the cover of anonymity Lynk speaks with a variety of people who risk their lives to tell this story. It’s an inspiring yet terrifying story that without the evidence presented would be hard to believe. I couldn’t have imagined something so bold as the idea that a country would be willing to assassinate its opposing activists once they had fled to countries like Canada or Britain. I cluelessly thought once someone in danger like this made it to a Western country that they were safe as long as they didn’t return to their homeland. This podcast reveals how silly of a thought that might be. The CBC show has 4.5 out of 5 stars on Apple Podcasts with 114 ratings total. On average the episodes are about 47 minutes long and the entire pod has been published. A lot of places say this is a pay to listen podcast but I was able to listen to the full series on Pocket Casts. It’s a piece of excellent journalism that tells of the inspiration Karima gave to her people in her life and even after her death. Trigger warnings for human rights violations, kidnapping, violence, and suicide.
