ISLAMABAD
\nThe \u2018Workers Committee\u2019 of Online News Agency and Jinnah Newspaper protested Friday despite intense rain and chilly weather for a fifth consecutive day, demanding the release of their Editor-in-Chief Mohsin Jameel Baig and restoration of transmission of media houses such as \u2018News One\u2019 channel. Notable journalist leaders, media workers and political representatives participated in the protest, held outside the Online News Agency. Chairman of Pakistan Muslim League – Qayyum Group Faqeer Hussain Bukhari, President of National Press Club (NPC) Anwar Raza, President PFUJ Afzal Butt and senior journalists addressed the protest.
\nSpeakers said that apprehended senior journalist Mohsin Jameel Baig has become the \u2018symbol of press freedom\u2019 and media-men from all over the country paid tribute to Baig for showing resistance.
\nSpeakers said that Baig was put into jail\u2019s death cell, which was a classic example of media-oppression. Current government had started conspiring against press freedom and to curb journalists\u2019 rights.
\nThey said that abrupt implementation of PECA act through ordinance was part of such conspiracies; however, journalist community would fearlessly face government\u2019s persecution. Speakers noted that their protest will continue until government withdraws from its baseless cases against Mohsin Jameel Baig and plowing against media institutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
