A number of recent government moves that jeopardize journalistic freedom in the nation have been denounced by the Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists (PFUJ). The PFUJ denounced the growing crackdown on journalists in a statement issued on December 15, 2024, calling it a clear violation of media rights. They underlined that it is intolerable and against to democratic ideals to harass and jail journalists for just carrying out their jobs.
The PFUJ has criticized the federal and Punjabi governments’ proposed changes to the defamation legislation, calling them “draconian” and “fascist.” It is becoming more challenging for journalists to reveal wrongdoing by the government as a result of these developments, which are perceived as attempts to suppress dissent and limit media freedom.
