CPJ flays murder of journalist
NEW YORK- The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has condemned the brutal murder of Shahid Soomro, a correspondent for the Sindhi-language newspaper Kawish and urged President Gen Pervez Musharraf to bring the killers to justice.
Pakistani journalists fear that Soomro, who was based in the town of Kandhkot, was killed in reprisal for his reporting on abuses committed during recent general elections held on October 10, CPJ stated in a letter to Musharraf. Ann Cooper, Executive Director, CPJ, also requested for updating CPJ on any progress in efforts to investigate and prosecute Soomro’s murder.
