CNN banned from visiting Lal Masjid and Jamia Hafsa
 The government on Thursday arranged a visit for journalists to Lal Masjid and Jamia Hafsa, but did not allow reporters from the Cable News Network (CNN), a US-based news television network, to participate. Daily Times learnt that the government had some complaints regarding CNNs reporting of the armys operation and the network was not allowed to visit the scene along with other local and foreign media teams after completion of the operation. When asked about his point of view regarding CNN being banned from reporting onsite at the Lal Masjid, CNN Bureau Chief in Pakistan Mohsin Naqvi told Daily Times by e-mail that, The actions by Pakistans government are regrettable. We remain committed to reporting from Pakistan. Posted by: Fred 2007-07-13 |
