| Summary/Abstract |
On March 29, 2008 Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gillani announced that student unions were finally to operate again on campuses of Pakistan's colleges and universities. Banned in 1984 by then chief martial law administrator and president General Ziaul Haq, they have remained outlawed since then despite efforts by some later governments to revive them.

| Summary/Abstract |
Two months after one of the deadliest anti-Christian mob attacks in Pakistan, in which seven Christians were burnt alive and one shot dead, the residents of Gojra's Christian colony are still living in the shadows of perpetual fear. These worries turned to dread when another angry mob attacked a Christian neighbourhood in the Sialkot district on September 11.

| Summary/Abstract |
The talk show's guests had been invited to discuss conditions attached to the Kerry-Lugar Bill, which promises 1.5 billion dollars of non-military US aid to Pakistan for the next five years. After a slew of negative reports or rumours in recent weeks about everything from embassy expansion and the arrival of Marines to Blackwater and abuse of Pakistani citizens, the bill's conditions were the latest America related controversy gripping the nation.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Northern Areas- comprising the Gilgit Agency, states of Hunza and nagar and Baltistan Wazarat - has long been the ignored region in the Pakistani state and society (see The invisible Region). The latest authonomy package, the Gilgit-Baltistan empowerment and self-governance order 2009 provides little possibility for change.

Life seems to have become a living hell for the residents of North Waziristan due to the military's presence there.
