ACCESS TO INFORMATION:
National Archives: a prison of declassified files
Accessing declassified files stored in the National Archives of Pakistan is as difficult as obtaining classified data from any government department and even 50-year-old files are not allowed to be viewed, a Daily Times survey revealed. The department was established in the early 70s, but even after 35 years it has not been able to declassify a single government document from the thousands of files that it stores.
