Mafia, a murder cover-up and a sister’s battle for justice

Outlook

Available for over a year

Perween Rahman’s assassination in 2013 was one of the most high profile target killings in Pakistan that year. She ran an influential NGO, the Orangi Pilot Project, and had exposed how the mafia were stealing Karachi’s water supply. She also stood up to local land grabbers. So who was behind her murder? Faced with a botched police investigation, Perween’s sister Aquila began a seemingly impossible campaign for justice. Aquila and Perween’s story is portrayed in the film Into Dust. More details available on https://www.intodustmovie.com/. Presenter: Mobeen Azhar Producer: Maryam Maruf Get in touch: outlook@bbc.com (Photo: Perween Rahman.
