ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists (PFUJ) is set to observe press freedom day today to highlight its struggle against the restrictions on press imposed by the martial law regime 41 years ago on this day (July 5).
According to a press release, unions of journalists affiliated with the PFUJ will hoist black flags on press clubs buildings across the country to denounce the dictatorial measures in which censorship was imposed on newspapers and the journalists and newspaper workers, who fought for the freedom of press, were arrested.
Pakistan is faced with the same situation today. Pre-censorship has become a routine practice in newspapers and private TV channels. Journalists, cameraman and columnists arc being intimidated, kidnapped and tortured by the state and non-state actors.
