CPJ condemns journalist’s murder

Published February 14, 2008

NEW YORK, Feb 13: The Committee to Protect Journalists has condemned the murder of columnist Dr Chishti Mujahid in Quetta.

“That the first journalist killed in Pakistan this year should be targeted in this already unstable region is alarming,” said CPJ executive director Joel Simon. “We call on the authorities to thoroughly investigate the murder and bring those responsible to justice in order to demonstrate that journalists cannot be assassinated with impunity.”
