Editors booked over banned outfit claim
2013-05-16
[Pak Daily Times] Police has registered an FIR against the newspaper editors and publishers who published the claim of a banned outfit that it had carried out the kaboom at the residence of Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
inspector general of police.

The case has been registered on the complaint of the Quetta City Police Station SHO, under the anti-terrorism act. The charges include contempt of court, as the provincial high court had barred newspapers and media organizations from publishing and telecasting the statements/claims of the banned outfits.

The media took the common stand that its members are receiving threats from the banned outfits and no institution of the country is capable of defending the lives of newsmen, including editors and publishers. The media organizations, including the APNS, CPNE and PFUJ, and human rights
One man's rights are another man's existential threat.
organizations are expected to take a common stand on the issue once again.
