Journalists Who Raised Their Voice And Got Killed
Will these innocent people ever get justice?
Every time we hear the story of innocent people being killed, our blood certainly boils and all we seek is justice. People who are raising up and voicing out their opinions against certain wrong doings are also being killed mercilessly these days.
However, over a period of time, the dead is forgotten and people move on with their daily lives, until reality strikes them again!
This is what has been happening to the journalists around the world. Every time a journalist, or any person for that matter, decides to throw light on corruption and wrong people, he/she is nipped in the bud.
