| [GEOTV] Pakistain has dropped further on the list of countries in terms of protection of journalists in a report by Reporters Without Borders (RSF) released on the World Press Freedom Day. According to the RSF report, Pakistain has fallen by 12 places to 157 out of 180 countries. Last year, Pakistain was ranked 145 on the list. Expressing his concern on the worsening situation, Council of Pakistain Newspaper Editors (CPNE) President Kazim Khan said that one can disagree with the editorial policy, however, no one can impose their decision on an institution. Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... Press Club President Fazil Jamili said that freedom of expression will be protected by putting personal interests above everything. World Press Freedom Day is celebrated every year on May 3 to highlight the fundamental principles of press freedom and present the current state of journalism to the world. This day is also celebrated to show solidarity and pay tribute to the journalists who were killed, injured or affected while performing their duties. |
