ISLAMABAD – International rights groups have condemned the suspension of a prominent Pakistani journalist and talk show host from his regular television program.
Hamid Mir was taken off air on Monday, just days after he spoke out against the country’s powerful military.
He accused them of censoring the media and persecuting journalists.
Critics said journalists in Pakistan are increasingly under threat, although the government denies this.
According to Mir, his wife and daughter have been threatened too.(BBC)
