SRD/FRs CSN staff threatened by terrorists to stop social activities regarding women and girls or be ready for severe consequences

The administration and field staff of Society for Rights and Development and its network FRs CSN was threatened by terrorists in Frontier Regions of FATA. Threatening letters and calls were received from unknown people saying that activities of network to be closed immediately otherwise responsibility of any untoward incident will be borne by SRD and FRs CSN. Such threats were hurled from time to time but the organization has not left its activities. Previously in election 2013 threats were issued to organization and network and even the head Zar Ali Khan Afridi was threatened to forbid doing social, humanitarian and developmental activities. Terrorists want to see work stopped over the issues of women and girls.Last time, it is pertinent to mention that FRs CSN female program officer Irsa Asim had no choice but to leave and hide somewhere safe from terrorists who had threatened her with severe consequences due to her work for the uplift of the area and development and awareness of the women and girls of the area in question.
