PBA condemns attack on Geo TV office
KARACHI (March 17 2007): The Pakistan Broadcasters Association strongly condemned the unprovoked and unwarranted attack on the offices of Geo Television Network in Islamabad and mishandling of journalists and staff members who were present there on Friday.
A PBA Press release issued here said that such a heinous attack was unprecedented in the 60 years history of Pakistan where enforcers of law (sic) Punjab police went on a rampage inside the offices of a media organisation.
In order to curtail the media coverage various governmental functionaries have been misinterpreting advise on in-camera proceedings, from the Supreme Judicial Council, restricting live coverage and visuals of happenings outside the Council hearing the presidential reference against the Chief Justice of Pakistan, said PBA. PBA members called upon the government to fulfil its responsibility of protecting life and property of the citizens and punish those responsible for this dastardly act.
