Islamabad: The South Asian Journalists Federation (SAJF) unequivocally condemns the killing of journalists in Gaza, where numerous media professionals have tragically lost their lives while bravely carrying out their duties. These heinous acts represent a direct attack on press freedom, truth, and the fundamental right to information. SAJF President Geetartha Pathak stated, 'The targeting of journalists in Gaza is an assault on the very pillars of democracy. Journalism is a vital profession that faces immense risks, and such violence undermines the public's right to know. We stand united in demanding justice and protection for our colleagues.'
