WASHINGTON: US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has expressed concern over “significant restrictions” on media outlets and on the civil society in Pakistan. “Media and content restrictions as well as a lack of accountability for attacks, disappearances against journalists clearly are a threat to the ability to exercise the right to freedom of expression and association in Pakistan. We’ve documented some of this in our Country Reports on Human Rights practices, and we see media outlets, journalists, their families in Pakistan often subject to threats, harassment at the hands of security forces, political parties, militants, other groups,” the secretary said while addressing a virtual roundtable meeting Wednesday afternoon.
