BAHAWALPUR: The World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers (WAN-IFRA) has condemned the attack on senior anchor Hamid Mir and sent a letter to the Pakistan government for speedy investigation into the matter.
In a message, Rural Media Network Pakistan (RMNP) president Ihsan Ahmed Sehr and WAN-IFRA Director Andrew Heslop said that the latest attack on press freedom had occurred just weeks after Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif pledged to do more to protect journalists. “Five journalists were killed in Pakistan in 2013, and over 50 died since the early 1990s. It is pity that a majority of murders remained unresolved,” they said.
