QUETTA: Two journalists were arrested on Wednesday and shifted to an unidentified location while others staged noisy protests against the recent curbs on the media and the arrest of fellow journalists. ARY One World bureau chief Abdul Sattar Kakar, and Jamal Tharkai, journalist of ‘Awam’, a Quetta-based Urdu newspaper, were detained by the Frontier Corps (FC) here.

They were taken to the Balochistan Assembly building first and were later moved elsewhere. Tharkai, who wrote a sarcastic write-up against the emergency two days ago, and Kakar, were both detained for the second time since the imposition of emergency.
