The Taliban in Pakistan wanted Saba Eitizaz dead.
It was 2014, and the militants had issued an edict that Eitizaz and fellow colleagues working for BBC in that country were to be shot on sight. They received messages warning they were living on borrowed time.
Eitizaz fled to Canada as a refugee, she found work with CBC and then the Toronto Star, and the dread faded. But new threats have landed in her inbox — this time, targeting her for being a journalist in Canada.
Because Canada is just like the Taliban!
