An anti-drug activist was killed in Punjab, and CJP activists were detained, in two of the day's headline incidents flagged by the Free Press Journal's noon bulletin.

The killing of an anti-drug campaigner has refocused attention on Punjab's long-running drug crisis and the risks faced by those who speak out against it.

Separately, activists linked to the Citizens for Justice and Peace were detained, amid the group's vocal criticism of the Jantar Mantar de-notification.

Both incidents underline a tense climate where activism — on drugs and on civil liberties — is drawing heat.
