Journalists protest media restrictions across country |
| |
* Over 150 arrested Karachi journalists freed
* Journalists in Lahore, Islamabad and Quetta urge govt to lift ban on private TV channels: Journalists across the country rallied against media curbs on Tuesday, resulting in over 150 being arrested in Karachi, before being released late on Tuesday night. The protests, which had been called by the Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists (PFUJ), were heavily attended by media personnel and were for the most part peaceful. However, the rally in Karachi turned violent when police baton-charged the protesters as they tried to advance towards Governor’s House. Association of TV Journalists President Jawed Sabha, columnist Zubair Rehman and ARY reporter Ajiz Jamali were badly beaten during the protest. Some of the journalists ran back to seek refuge in the Karachi Press Club but were prevented from entering by police. The police arrested about a dozen senior journalists including Karachi Press Club President Sabihiuddin Ghausi and Karachi Union of Journalists President Shamimur Rehman. After the senior journalists were arrested, all remaining journalists demanded their release and following the police’s refusal, offered themselves up for arrest as well. In the end over 150 journalists were arrested. In the evening, the police said the women journalists could leave, but they refused to go until everyone was freed. Finally, on Tuesday night, all the journalists were released, including four who had gone “missing”. Following their release, the journalists held a rally and vowed to continue protesting until all curbs on media were lifted. Media demands: Meanwhile, journalists in Islamabad and Rawalpindi took to the streets and marched from the Islamabad/Rawalpindi Press Club to Lal Masjid. |

Police baton-charge journalists rally in Karachi |
| |
More than 225 arrested, 180 media persons arrested, freed
Police on Tuesday baton-charged a rally of journalists to prevent them from reaching the Governor House to protest against curbs on the media. The brute use of force by the police led to the arrest of 180 journalists, including women, many of whom courted arrest outside the Karachi Press Club (KPC). The rally was organised by the Karachi Union of Journalists as part of the ongoing countrywide protests called by the Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists (PFUJ) against the curbs on the media and the ban on Geo and ARYone world TV channels. Barricades had been erected by the police all around the Press Club building to prevent protesters from proceeding to the Governor House. The media people took to the streets chanting “Hum Chheen Key Lengey Azadi” (we will snatch freedom), “Hum Nahi Mantey Zulm Key Zabtey” (we do not accept the rule of tyranny).

Media in Courts
TV channels ban case put off for a week |
| |
The Sindh High Court on Tuesday adjourned the hearing of a petition against the ban on four television channels to Nov 27 to enable the information and broadcasting ministry to file comprehensive comments. Deputy Attorney-General Rizwan Ahmed Siddiqui requested adjournment to find out why the Dubai authorities have cancelled or suspended Geo transmissions from their territory. He said a comprehensive reply could not be submitted without ascertaining the status of the channels’ licence(s) or landing rights. The government, he contended, fully subscribed to the freedom of media and that was why scores of channels had been allowed to operate a few days after a brief suspension. He wondered what was so special about the Geo channels that they could not agree to a code like other channels. The reopened channels were freely airing news and views, including those critical of the government.

Journalists come together at Clifton Police Station
The Clifton Police Station resembled the grounds of the Karachi Press Club (KPC) last night with journalists present all around the police station’s premises waiting for the return of five of their colleagues who had been charged separately under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO). Ghulam Mustafa (Geo News), A.H. Khanzada (Dawn News), Moosa Kaleem (Herald), Omer Asghar (Daily Express) and Najib Peji (Daily Jang), were separated from over 180 journalists who were picked up from the KPC after protesting against the curbs that have been placed on the media since the imposition of emergency.
They had cases slapped on them and were to be sent to Karachi Central Jail. Meanwhile, the release order for the detained journalists (sans the five aforementioned ones) came through from the Governor’s House. However, in a show of strength, journalists at all police stations refused to leave without their five colleagues. A sizable crowd gathered at the Clifton Police Station where the ones who had been arrested were to return.

Police brutality against protesting journalists |
| |
The police arrested more than 100 journalists on Tuesday after they baton-charged the newsmen’s peaceful procession towards the Governor’s House from the Karachi Press Club organized to express concern against media curbs a day after the government decided to release those arrested for defying emergency rule. However, late on Tuesday night the police released the arrested journalists. An official said the journalists were released after Sindh Governor Dr Ishratul Ibad personally got involved in the matter. “The total number of released journalists is 110,” said the official. “The police had already released more than a dozen female journalists a couple of hours after their arrests.” However, he said an FIR (182/2007) had been registered against the protesting journalists by the Frere police for a law and order violation. “The case has been registered under Sections 147, 148 and 149 of the Pakistan Penal Code,” he added. These sections define offences of rioting, rioting with a deadly weapon and every member of an unlawful assembly guilty of an offence committed in prosecution of a common object. |

To ban or not to ban |
| |
Why did the authorities in Pakistan choose to control the electronic media instead of monitoring or regulating it even? The recent decision of the government to shut down Geo television network has not only led to disappointment among the people, but has also shown where the government really stands regarding its stand on the media’s freedom of expression. The act that first caused all private TV channels to go off air (cable operators weren’t allowed to air it) later on influenced the authorities in Dubai to discontinue the transmission of Geo and another private television network. This was in itself surprising because one did not expect the authorities in Dubai to bow down to pressure from another country regarding the freedom of speech. The opposition, of course, believes that private news channels will commence eventually. However, one can’t help but wonder what the government’s policy actually is with respect to TV channels. In other countries, the government authorities do not intervene in the affairs of the private TV channels. The managers of these channels however, have set a policy and follow that instead of being dictated by the government. In Pakistan, on the other hand, there has always been a tradition of forcing the government’s views either by hook or by crook which is, to say the least, unfair.

The people in the city are anxiously waiting for reopening of Geo transmission that was blocked on the very first day of emergency in the country.

She said that Geo was a typical Pakistani channel, which was providing authentic news to its viewers.
None of Geo programme was against the national interest, its every programme was in the national interest, she added.

The media betrayed by Farahnaz Ispahani |
| |
“The government's recipes for a controlled and conformist Pakistan are only serving to make more and more people move towards the realization that they are helpless against an overwhelming State establishment. The feeling is spreading that change cannot be brought about through peaceful means, through the primacy of the law and constitution and by increasing public awareness. So far Pakistan's civil society is engaging in every form of peaceful protest available to save our basic freedoms however if this kind of despondency gains further ground, the elite of Pakistan can rest assured that the day will not be far when violent Italianisation will knock at our doors.”
