Islamabad: A global media watchdog has slammed Pakistani authorities over the removal of three television channels from the airwaves, saying the move was “indicative of disturbing dictatorial tendencies” as pressure mounts on journalists in the South Asian nation.
The statement from Reporters Without Borders (RSF) comes days after AbbTakk TV, 24 News, and Capital TV all had their broadcasts cut, after screening a press conference with opposition leader Maryam Nawaz. Authorities say the channels were unavailable due to “technical issues”. (AFP)
