CPJ urges Pakistan govt to immediately release senior journalist Imran Riaz - July 09, 2022

The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has urged the PML-N-led government to immediately release senior journalist and Express News anchorperson Imran Riaz Khan and ensure that members of the press can work freely and without fear of reprisal.

Riaz, the most vocal critic of the ruling coalition, was arrested from Islamabad Toll Plaza late on Tuesday disregarding the fact that a court has already granted him a pre-arrest bail.

Imran Riaz has been implicated in a slew of cases which he says were motivated by his refusal to “stop speaking the truth”.
