Special Assistant to the Prime Minister Firdous Ashiq Awan while addressing the press on Wednesday said that a bill restricting media coverage for convicts had been passed by the cabinet.
Analysts say that this not only is a violation of people's fundamental rights, but also an attempt by the government to limit the coverage of political opposition in the country.
