Pak. blocks daily over Nawaz report

Pakistani authorities have blocked the circulation of a leading English daily in many parts of the country, a media watchdog has alleged, days after the newspaper published ousted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s controversial remarks on the 2008 Mumbai terror attack.

Mr. Sharif’s interview appeared in Dawn newspaper’s May 12 issue and the blocking began on May 15, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) said as it condemned the “latest attack on media freedom in Pakistan”.
