NewsUAE urged to review decision of TV broadcasts suspension
DUBAI: Committee of Protect Journalists has written a letter to His Highness UAE Vice President and Ruler of Dubai Shaikh Muhammad Bin Rashid Al-Maktoom urging him to restore transmission of Pakistani channels in Dubai.
The Committee said the journalist community has felt strongly by the decision of Dubai Media City to suspend the transmission of Geo TV since last Friday.
After the said decision, Geo News is still off air after the passage of five days. This decision is in conflict with the commitment of UAE for transforming Dubai into an enlightened society and a stable economy.
According to media reports, the said decision was taken on severe pressure from Pakistani President General Pervez Musharraf and the same has damaged the confidence of the broadcasters and investors.
The letter demanded of the UAE government to reconsider its decision of suspending Pakistani channels.
