CPJ condemns attack on Pakistani journalist Asad Ali Toor in Islamabad
AKIPRESS.COM - Pakistan authorities must launch a credible investigation into the assault of journalist Asad Ali Toor and bring the perpetrators to justice, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said on May 26.
Three unidentified men beat, bound, and gagged Toor inside his apartment in Islamabad on May 25, according to news reports and the journalist, who spoke to CPJ in a phone interview.
CCTV coverage following the attack shows Toor struggling to walk in his apartment building’s lobby as passersby helped remove the bindings. The journalist told CPJ that his arms were bloodied and bruised in the attack, and he required stitches on his elbow.
A Christian man in Pakistan was allegedly poisoned and killed by a group of radical Muslims for defending his sister from harassment, which has sparked demands for justice.
