The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) condemned the decision of Pakistani censors to order the removal of an article from the September 3 edition of Newsweek as a condition for the magazine's distribution in the country.
The censored article, titled "Talking is Dangerous," highlights the prosecution of Mohammed Younus Shaikh, a professor recently sentenced to death under Pakistan's controversial blasphemy laws for allegedly insulting Prophet Mohammad.
"By censoring an article that spotlights threats to free speech in Pakistan, authorities only bolster their country's reputation for intolerance," said the CPJ executive director, Ann Cooper. "Directly or indirectly, Pakistan's blasphemy laws are increasingly used to curb the press."
