ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: In a bid to register a protest against killings of media workers, restrictions on media and human rights violations in Indian Occupied Kashmir, a protest rally is being held outside the Indian High Commission in Islamabad on Wednesday under the auspices of the Muzaffarabad Press Club.
Besides the Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK) Prime Minister Raja Farooq Haider Khan, important government, media, political and social personalities are also participating in the protest rally.
The protesters will also hand over a memorandum to the UN Observers’ Mission.
Earlier on Tuesday, journalists and Lahore Press Club leaders staged a demonstration in Lahore on the call of South Asian Free Media Association (SAFMA) to condemn the brutal murder of Editor Rising Kashmir Shujaat Bukhari in Srinagar and demanded the formation of an independent commission of inquiry to bring the real culprits to justice.
The demonstrations were also organised in different cities of South Asia on the killing of voices of peace in the Indian Occupied Kashmir.
The 50-year-old Shujaat Bukhari, editor of “Rising Kashmir” was killed in broad day light near his office in Srinagar on June 14 when armed men sprayed bullets on his vehicle. He along with his bodyguard was killed in the attack.
