Call for probe into killing of journalist
NEW YORK: The Committee to Protect Journalists on Thursday called on the Pakistan government to order an immediate, high-level investigation into Wednesday’s murder of Mohammad Ismail, Islamabad bureau chief for the Pakistan Press International (PPI).
Mohammad Ismail’s murder must be fully investigated, said Joel Simon, CPJ’s executive director in a statement here. An alarming number of Pakistani journalists have been killed with impunity in the last four years.
The government must show that it is determined to end this very poor record by waging a timely and thorough investigation, he added.
