On 7 July 2012, two prominent educationists, who are also writers, human rights activists and feminists, came under attack when they returned to Pakistan after visiting the U.S. Prof. Amar Sindhu and Dr. Irfana Mallah, along with their colleague Rabia Memon, all of who teach at the Sindh University in Jamshoro, where returning to the campus Sunday night when their cars were fired upon. Amar Sindhu was hurt in the attack. The three university teachers have been in the forefront of opposition to the posting of vice chancellor Dr. Nazir Ahmed Mogul, who was allegedly handpicked by President Asif Ali Zardari. According to reports as much as Rs. 50 million is paid in bribe for posting as vice chancellor at Sindh University. There have been at least five murders on the campus during the tenure of the controversial vice chancellor Dr. Mogul. In January, director of students affairs at the university, Prof. Bashir Channar was shot dead on the campus. "His body kept lying on the ground for 40 minutes even though there are security check posts at 100 yards from the scene of the murder," Prof. Sindhu said during an interview in the U.S. A judicial inquiry identified the culprits as Bachchal Narejo, Minhal Rajjar and Hamza Ali Chandio, who belong to the Muslim Students Federation, a student wing of the Pakistan Muslim League Functional. The vice chancellor was sent on forced leave after Professor Channar's killing. Sons of the slain professor at a Press conference accused Sindhi influential Jam Madad Ali, Rafiq Bhanbhan, Sind chief minister adviser Imtiaz Sheikh and Jadim Mangrio, who is member of Pakistan's national assembly, of forcing them not to pursue the case in a regular court. In an interview with Sindhi intellectual and openly bisexual Hasan Mujtaba while she was here in the U.S. last week, Prof. Sindhu said, "Every person of conscience is under threat in Pakistan." Those who have condemned the attack on the women teachers of the Sindh university include Human Rights Commission of Pakistan vice president Amarnath Motomal and Aurat Foundation resident director Mahnaz Rahman.
