Pakistan Supreme Court Demands Swift Journalist Attack Investigations

The Supreme Court of Pakistan has expressed dissatisfaction with the police investigation report regarding the torture and harassment of journalists. The court has decided to postpone further proceedings until June, with the final date to be determined later. Specifically, the court was not pleased with the investigation report on the torture of journalists and the abduction and torture of another journalist. In response, the court has directed the police to conclude the investigation into the attacks on the three journalists within a month. Additionally, the court has instructed authorities to release sketches of the suspects involved in one journalist's torture and offer a reward for their identification. Furthermore, the court has mandated sending CCTV footage of another journalist's abduction to the Punjab forensic lab for analysis.

This development comes in the wake of increasing concerns over the safety and security of journalists in Pakistan. The court's intervention highlights the seriousness of these incidents and the need for swift and thorough investigations to ensure justice for the victims. The court's directives aim to expedite the process of identifying and apprehending the perpetrators responsible for these heinous acts, sending a strong message that such actions will not be tolerated in the country.
