Riots erupted in the northeast side of the city. Unfortunately, and very quickly, journalists reporting on developments on the ground are being targeted since. CFWIJ has been documenting the attacks on women journalists in this scenario and we have come across some unpleasant cases that have put these journalists at severe risk.

The Coalition For Women In Journalism denounce the legal persecution of Gul Bukhari. The FIA has supposedly summoned Gul for her “defamatory remarks” against state institutions. We demand an end to using law against journalists in the country. The country’s state should be more open to criticism and stop suppressing press freedom in the country.
