Moreover, IPI believes that freedom of expression and freedom of the press are of such importance that it must not be suppressed by direct or indirect measures, including the use of advertising as a means of leverage over the media.
In the present case, IPI is worried that the decision to ban the Nawa-i-Waqt Group of Publications is designed to convey a clear message to the Pakistan media that criticism of the government can have dire financial consequences.
We therefore call on Your Excellency and the Pakistan government to do everything possible to ensure that this highly selective and unfair ban is lifted, to halt further attempts at influencing the media and their reporting, and to ensure that newspapers are allowed to publish in Pakistan without any further harassment or pressure.
