Senior journalist receives death threats
Mohammad Malick, an editor of English language daily “The News” , Islamabad received life threatening calls and was followed by men in a car on November 22, 2011, while travelling towards his office in Islamabad, the capital city of Pakistan.
He believes the people threatening and following him were from intelligence agencies. Malick said some people in a white Toyota Corolla also followed him on 23.
Malick told PPF that he received a phone call on Monday evening, in which he was warned not to delve too deeply in his investigative reporting on “Memogate issue” in which former Pakistan ambassador to the US Hussain Haqqani allegedly asked Admiral Mike Mullen for the U.S. help to control Pakistan’s military.
Malick said he had written columns on the “Memogate issue” in his newspaper that were critical to government policies. He believed that the threats he received were the reaction to these columns.
