Since 2001, 12 women have been reportedly killed because of their direct involvement in music in North Western Pakistan. Approximately 600 musicians suffered due to the closure of Dabgari Bazar during the MMA government. Around 50 Sufi shrines have been reportedly attacked and an estimated 150 attacks on CD shops and music centres have left an estimated 1,000 to 1,500 shops and centres destroyed.
These are the tragic facts published on 17 March 2014 in ‘Music and Militancy in North Western Pakistan (2001-2014)’ by Center for Peace and Cultural Studies (CPCS), Peshawar, in collaboration with Freemuse.
