CJA protests death of Pak journalist
The Commonwealth Journalists Association (CJA) expressed on Wednesday outrage over the slaying of Pakistani journalist Syed Saleem Shahzad and urged the Pakistan government to do all it can to find the perpetrators.
CJA president Hassan Shahriar said he and his colleagues at the CJA were alarmed and dismayed over the rising incidents of violence against journalists in Pakistan, especially those journalists who were working in tribal areas.
The body of Syed Saleem Shahzad, an Islamabad-based journalist, was found May 31, two days after he was reported missing.
Shahzad's latest article for Asia Times was about a Taliban-led attack on Mehran naval base in Karachi May 22 in which 11 soldiers and four attackers were killed.
