"Attack on freedom of press" letter to Editor published in Daily "Pakistan Observer" Islamabad on Monday, November 06, 2006.

Attack on freedom of press
M Fazil bukhtiar qureshi
The murder of senior journalist Malik Muhammad Ismail Khan is a brutal act which shows how the journalist community in Pakistan is still in the line of fire. The veteran journalist was known for his courage and commitment to uncovering stories and he was very involved in promoting a positive image of journalism in Pakistan. The manner and cruelty of his death would suggest that there may have been a story against the “powerful”. The government must take immediate and stern action and trace his killers and provide appropriate security to the community so that they can perform their duties without any fear and apprehension.
