Journalists Questioned After FIR Against Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front ndtv.com

Two journalists were called for questioning by Jammu and Kashmir police after reporting on a Kashmir Valley shutdown call issued by banned separatist outfit JKLF to mark the hanging of Afzal Guru and Maqbool Bhat. The police, who have also filed an FIR (first information report) against the Jammu-Kashmir Liberation Front, said the journalists were only questioned and not detained. However, journalists' groups in the newly-formed union territory have criticised the action, calling it harassment and alleging the cops were defining what they could and could not report. Some journalists met the police yesterday to seek the release of their colleagues.
