Journalists protest murder of colleagues

QUETTA: Journalists in Quetta on Sunday held a rally to mourn the killings this week of three colleagues who worked for the Online International News Network.

 

After marching on various roads, the rally participants gathered at Governor House intersection. The protesters demanded immediate arrest of the killers and expressed anger over the authorities failure in stopping targeted killings of journalists.

 

Unidentified assailants gunned down Bureau Chief Irshad Mastoi, reporter Ghulam Rasool and accountant Muhammad Younas on August 28.  The incident took place inside Kabirwala Building on Jinnah Road.

 

The journalists in the provincial capital decided to boycott all government functions to protest the murders.
