Pakistan: Journalists face tracking, arrests, and harassment amid PTI rallies

As police continue to crack down on violence and political protests in the aftermath of Pakistan’s May 9 unrest, journalists are facing increased harassment and surveillance by authorities, with at least one journalist in detention. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) and its affiliate, the Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists (PFUJ), condemn the mounting attacks and arrests and urge Pakistan's government to take appropriate steps to ensure the safety and security of all media workers, as required by law.
