PFJA Condemns Killing of Journalists in Wana, Criticizes Govt’s Response

The Pakistan Freelance Journalists Association (PFJA) has expressed deep grief and concern over the killing of two journalists by snipers in Wana.

PFJA President Iqbal Yousufi strongly condemned the government for its lopsided and inadequate response to the tragedy.

In a meeting, the association observed that the meagre amount of compensation announced for the families of the slain journalists reflected the low priority the government attaches to the lives of an important section of society.
