The 'Committee to Protect Journalists' has welcomed the new Pakistan government's move to lift restrictions on media imposed by President Pervez Musharraf last year. "We applaud this bill and hope to see it passed swiftly into law," said CPJ Executive Director Joel Simon.
"We welcome these positive statements by the Pakistan government and urge it to sustain its efforts to improve conditions for the media." The Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists (PFUJ) welcomed the government's move but also called for the code of conduct to be abolished.
