Media bodies condemn killing of cameraman

KARACHI, June 01 2006: International media watch groups on May 31 strongly condemned the killing this week of a Pakistani cameraman while he was covering a tribal feud in Sindh for local television. Munir Sangi, 30, who worked for Sindhi language Kawish Television Network (KTN), was killed on Monday while covering an armed clash between the Unar and Abro tribes in Larkana, police said. Sangi had received threats over his coverage of alleged abuses by Altaf Unar, a provincial minister.

“It is vital that this murder should not go unpunished,” the press freedom organisations RSF, Committee to Protect Journalists and The International Federation of Journalists said and demanded an investigation into the incident. The Sindh Home Department said four people had been arrested following Sangi’s death and three police officials had been suspended. Agencies.
