Pakistani website blocked after investigating the country's army chief

Nov, 13, 2023 Hi-network.com

The Pakistani investigative site 'Fact Focus' was completely unreachable for more than 20 hours on 21 November after publishing its 'Bajwa Leaks' story detailing the immense fortune accumulated by Gen. Qamar Javed Bajwa's family since he became the Chief of Army Staff. According to Fact Focus editors, the site was blocked by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority, a governmental entity, on the directives of the Prime Minister and the Minister of Information and Broadcasting. It became partially available again when the RSF (Reporters Without Borders) and other civil society representatives reported continuous suppression.
