ISLAMABAD: The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has strongly reacted to the Islamabad High Court (IHC)’s decision to frame charges against journalists for their coverage of former chief judge of Gilgit-Baltistan Rana Shamim’s affidavit.
In a Tweet on Thursday, the international media watchdog’s Asia Program Coordinator Steven Butler said: “No journalist should face contempt charges for reporting a verified story. Pakistan boasts of press freedom. Freedom of the press means freedom to report the news.”
