Bilawal Bhutto's message on the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists

Chairman Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that impunity for crimes against journalists was an international issue as undemocratic regimes, extremist and anti-people forces are bent upon to wipe out press freedom from the globe.
In his message on the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists being observed on Friday, the PPP Chairman said that no single nation can eliminate this cruel injustice and solution in this regard is linked in serious, coordinated and practical steps by the international community.
He said, on the one hand, previous government of the rightists promoted paid journalism while current selected government has squeezed the space for bona fide and independent journalists on the other.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari expressed concern over the perception that professional bodies of journalists were declaring Pakistan as dangerous country for media persons but rulers and corporate media was portraying everything alright.
The PPP Chairman pointed out that all the PPP governments had been burying the dark laws imposed by dictatorial regimes against press and media but rightist forces installed as rulers always start gagging them.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said journalists and media persons were still facing insecurity and media institutions are fighting the war of survival.
“Democracy and press are deeply interlinked. PPP considers struggle for freedom of press as key part for the movement of strengthening of democracy,” he asserted.
