The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan has expressed concern over a decision to declare journalist Ahmed Noorani as a “proclaimed offender” following an earlier complaint lodged against him for allegedly discharging his professional duties.
“This action was disproportionate and compromises Mr Noorani’s right to freedom of expression,” it said in a series of tweets on Saturday.
The organisation urged the Islamabad High Court to take notice and grant relief to the journalist.
