(RSF/IFEX) – Geo TV correspondent Mukesh Rupeta and assistant cameraman Sanjay Kumar were freed on bail on 23 June 2006 after being held secretly since 6 March, probably by Pakistani military intelligence agents.
Police officer Manzoor Khoso said their trial, on charges of “divulging official secrets”, would begin on 29 June. They were abducted while filming an airbase used by the US military.
Rupeta told the Associated Press news agency: “Those who were holding us looked like intelligence agents. When they were beating me, I asked myself whether I am Pakistani.”
