France condemns murder of Pak journalist

ISLAMABAD: France has condemned the murder of Pakistani journalist Mukarram Khan Atif, who was killed in a mosque in the town of Shabqadar in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, while he was attending prayers last Monday.

According to a statement issued by the French Foreign Office, the French government said that those responsible for this heinous act must be prosecuted and condemned.

The statement added that Atif had been courageously doing his job for 15 years, working mainly in Pakistan’s dangerous tribal areas for a number of media organisations, and recently for the Pashto language service of the “Voice of America” radio station.
