Islamabad : A new report on the murder of Pakistani journalist Zubair Mujahid, published by international media bodies, finds significant errors in the official police investigation, according to the Reporters Without Borders (RSF).
As a result of the new findings, leading press freedom organisations now call for an independent re-investigation into the case to bring the killers to book.
The report “Breaking the Silence: An Investigation into the Murder of Zubair Mujahid” was published as part of A Safer World For The Truth, an initiative by Free Press Unlimited (FPU), Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), to pursue justice for murdered journalists worldwide.
