A wave of outrage swept through Pakistan after police brutally assaulted journalists covering protests related to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) outside the Islamabad Press Club. Reporters and cameramen on duty were allegedly beaten, detained, and prevented from filming the unfolding chaos.
The unprovoked attack has drawn sharp condemnation from media bodies and human rights organizations, calling it a shameful assault on press freedom and democratic values.
Eyewitnesses described scenes of panic as officers charged at journalists simply for doing their jobs. The incident has reignited demands for justice, accountability, and stronger protection for media workers — reminding the world that truth should never be silenced by force.
