Pak govt to impose curbs on media coverage of convicts and absconders

Pakistan government has decided to impose curbs on media coverage of convicts and absconders, in a purported move to gag Opposition leaders who use it for their "benefit."
Washington-based Committee to Protect Journalists in July said in a statement "Pakistan's most popular news channel, the privately owned Geo News broadcaster, has been forced off the air or had its channel number abruptly changed in many parts of the country."
