[icernet] CPJ condemns threat to journalists in J&K

[Arul Selvan]

  The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has condemned the threat 
issued by a militant group, the Tehrik-ul-Mujahideen, to journalists 
working "against the freedom struggle" in Jammu and Kashmir. In a 
statement on April 29, a senior commander of the outfit, Abd-ar-Rabb, 
was quoted as saying, "There are seven dailies among the local ones and 
a well-known news agency which work at the behest of the Indian 
(intelligence) agencies and are paid by them. We inform such journalists 
that they will be killed if they fail to mend their ways.'' The 
statement did not identify any journalist or news organisation by name.
