Description

Emily Farquhar discusses with studio reporter (not identified) the background to flogging of local journalists in Pakistan. The military regime which has ruled in Pakistan for the last 6 months is now cracking down on press. Elections now unlikely to happen soon and the country is not too concerned with international reaction to its actions but there is little trouble or violence under this regime.
