Stand up for Umar Cheema

Monday, September 6th, 2010

Pakistani media has emerged as the 4th pillar of the state in no time. With limited resources and exposure, yet the persons on the camera and behind the camera put in their best efforts and just in a few years time, they have turned media into a force that translates into the voice of the voiceless. From time to time, the freedom media enjoys is questioned and it is incidents like Umer Cheema which bring shame to our democratic and liberal values.
IFJ (International Federation of Journalists) has rated Pakistan the deadliest country for journalists. When a journalist becomes the price for his news, then the dream of a free media would fade away slowly. Are we trying to move towards a free and responsible media or are we trying to strangle media?
IL-Pakistan strongly condemns the attack on Mr. Umar Cheema and greatly appreciates the professionalism of this brave journalist. It is a hostile environment that our media people work in and we must understand that.
