Amid a wave of protests and marches by lawyers and opposition activists throughout the country, the PPP-led government today suspended cable transmission of two television stations, Aaj TV in several major cities.
"It is shocking to see a democratic government use the same censorship measures as Pervez Musharraf's military government," Reporters Without Borders said.
"We urge the authorities in Islamabad to restore transmission of Aaj TV without delay. Such crude censorship will no way help to resolve Pakistan's political crisis."
