Teacher Deaths in Swabi Protest Female Education

A group of motorcycle riding gunmen stopped a moving van near Islamabad. The van was carrying several employees of a community center; including five female teachers, two aid workers, and a child. The men chose to spare the child, taking him out of the van before spraying it with bullets. The five teachers and two workers were shot to death. The attack took place in the Khyber Pakhtunhwa province, where gun and bomb attacks have been being made against those working to educate women. These violent protests continue to be made in opposition to the cultural and societal changes involving women rights that are happening in the area.
