In Pakistan, the Association of Electronic Media Editors and News Directors (AEMEND) has expressed concerns about the disappearance of journalists in the country. This was reported by a Pakistani Daily as the plight of journalists in Pakistan continues to remain a grave concern. AEMEND also warned against undeclared censorship and unjustified government and state institution intervention with media operations. The association held an emergency meeting on Tuesday to discuss challenges faced by the media in the country.<br />''<br />''Attendees of the meeting lamented the censorship imposed by the government and other state institutions. The summit urged journalists to avoid becoming politicised but also added that one cannot support or remain silent in the face of the forced abduction of any person, whether a political activist or a journalist.<br />''<br />''Recently, a leading Pakistani journalist Sami Abraham was reportedly abducted by unidentified men in Islamabad. His family had claimed that there was no information available regarding his location. In another case, Arshad Sharif, a senior Pakistani journalist was killed in cold blood in the month of October last year in Kenya when he was driving from Magadi to Nairobi. Sharif's death left rights organisations, the media fraternity, and civil society shocked and they called for an investigation into the matter.<br />''<br />''Meanwhile, Pakistan continues to remain one of the most dangerous countries for journalists. According to a report, journalists in Pakistan have been killed by militants, insurgents and unidentified state actors. The common thread in these killings is that truth and justice are elusive, and killers walk free while families look in vain, for answers.<br />
