Nov 3: The Pakistan Freelance Journalists Association (PFJA) has strongly condemned the illegal punishment inflicted upon journalist Mehmood, terming it an attempt to harass him.
PFJA President Iqbal Yousufi described the act in South Waziristan as criminal and blamed the political agent for colluding with a former minister and a notorious smuggler allegedly involved in a heroin case.
Mr. Yousufi said he had also sent telegrams to the President and Prime Minister, urging them to take notice of the serious misconduct of the political agent and to ensure his dismissal for targeting a dutiful journalist.
