Photojournalist Faisal Khan was injured after he was assaulted by police during a protest of teachers and clerks in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.

Pakistan Press Foundation describes the assault against senior journalist Ayaz Amir as a reflection of the shrinking space for free expression in Pakistan.

Pakistan Press Foundation said a government agency’s order restricting an interview with former Prime minister Imran Khan undermines the public’s right to information.

Pakistan Press Foundation has expressed concern over a recent trend that involves the filing of cases against journalists who are perceived to be supportive of former Prime Minister Imran Khan.

Pakistan’s former ruling party, Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf, is urged to publicly condemn acts of violence being carried out by some of its leaders and members against the media.

Pakistan’s Islamabad High Court has “struck down” the Prevention of Electronic Crimes (Amendment) Ordinance, 2022 (PECA) for being “unconstitutional”. The Pakistan Press Foundation has described the ruling as “a major step forward in creating a fair and free environment for the Pakistani media.”

The decision to prematurely take ‘News One’ off the air was criticized by media bodies.

Several media groups, including IFEX member the Pakistan Press Foundation, have collaborated and worked hard to push for this landmark legislation.
