Skip to main content. Before setting off on a European tour, President Pervez Musharraf gave permission for Pakistan's cable TV operators to resume distribution of Geo News, the country's most popular TV channel, for the first time in more than 10 weeks.
But he made Geo News withdraw two of its news programmes. Reporters Without Borders hails the lifting of a government ban on cable TV distribution of the privately-owned TV channel Geo News but deplores the fact that President Pervez Musharraf made it conditional on the suppression of some its programmes. This constitutes yet further evidence that censorship is unfortunately still the rule just a few weeks before the parliamentary elections scheduled for 18 February. These orders were not only violated but right after the World Cup was over, Pemra refused Geo Super permission to air from Pakistan.
The government has not issued the uplink licence to Geo Super to telecast from Pakistan. When Geo Super contacted Pemra for a new permission on April 1, it Pemra sought several details in a letter on April 4, besides issuing orders that Geo Super should not be telecast from Pakistan. Pemra also warned Geo Super of action under the Pemra Ordinance in case the orders were violated. An extremely ridiculous reason has been given by Pemra for not allowing Geo Super a licence to air in Pakistan: Geo Super has not been given security clearance!
The order based on this flimsy ground raises a question: how can sports, which keeps a nation healthy and united, become a security risk? The World Cup not only united the terror-stricken people but also entertained them.
Do the rulers want to deprive the people of their sporting pleasure and let the youth waste its energies in negative pursuits?
Now the channel has been shut down by the authorities. The measures, unleashed by the state-run TV, Pemra and other institutions, involved obstruction and blockage of broadcast, and threats to cable operators.
