**JP** Abbottabad Journalist under threat

Dear All

Check this 24th march clip , a black day in the history of Journalism

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCbaD44bxuw&feature=g-all-u&context=G2ff3830FAAAAAAAACAA
or can search with title Abbottabad Press Club

This clip  Show that the senior journalists of Abbottabad are being
targeted by police
and ununiformed persons.


But the question remains who is responsible for targeting them. The
answer is; the place is entry gate of Abbottabad press club and
forcefully stopped at the gate are senior members of PC Mr Zubair Ayub
Express TV Ex president Press Club, Shoukat Jadoon Executive
member APNEC, Mohammad Zubair khan, Khurum Shahzad senior member AUJ
and PC etc. why they do that, this is also a big question, answer is
that, these journalist try to enter in PressClub with black strips,
they are protesting against the KPK gov over illegal tactic against
journalist and newspapers. .

Men using slang language and supervising the police to stop and
torture are not governament servants but they are so called journalist
working as agents of ANP's minister (Sardar Naveed Alam and Amir
Shahzad Owner and CEO of Sarhad News group of Papers, Raja Haroon
Marketing Head of Mahasab etc ) . These are owners of  newspapers  and
news agents but present their self as journalist. The ANP minister's
and gov have bribed big volume of  advertisments. So these so called
journalist  were not willing to give right of protest as Mr Beshir
Bilour has moved a privilege motion against a leading news paper of
Hazara region,Hazara News  and registered cases against another news
paper of Haripur for reporting a story revealing his corruption. The
senior journalist only demanded to attend Bashir Blour function  with
black strips. this  would show their protest against Minister's
pressurizing tactics.

One have to rember that on 21th march working journalist arranged a
big rally in the favour of freedom of press, which give shock to KPK,
in this rally these so-called journalist not participate.

The bitter irony is that the freedom of speech and media (as in all
other issues like name of province and equal rights in jobs and
development funds) was one of the pretexts which the ANP's KPK
administration used in invading Hazara's rights. What kind of freedom
a journalist has when he is threatened by privilege motion and cases?

The Pakistani and  international community has to play an active role
in protecting the journalists of Abbottabad through creating voice and
it also needs an independent committee to investigate the daily
violations that the so called journalists (owners, administrators and
PR managers of Political parties, News agents who are using name press
club and union of journalist as their tool) are exposed to, and to
present those who are responsible.

For it is illogical to imagine that the so called journalist who are
known as agents of administration and the political authorities would
hold the their own self, responsible, while they themselves are
responsible of torturing senior journalists apart from the stopping of
many others to enter into Press club for coverage of Bashir Blour
function by the help of police. The  authorities are responsible for
these  atrocities, as they are responsible of providing safe
environment for journalists to work in.


We working jouirnalists  here in Abbottabd are commented to defend
freedom of press. But we need country wide support and we are hopeful
that all working journalist raise their voice with us for the sake of
journalism, working journalist

Take Care
