नेपाल प्रहरीद्वारा चार पत्रकार पक्राउ, प्रेस काउन्सिलको चिन्ता

नेपाल प्रहरीले शुक्रबार कम्तीमा चार पत्रकारलाई कुनै कारण नखुलाई पक्राउ गरेको छ भने पोसाकविहीन प्रहरी अधिकारीहरूले नयाँ पत्रिका दैनिकको न्यूजरुममा प्रवेश गरी न्यायपालिकामा घुसखोरीसम्बन्धी रिपोर्ट गरेका अन्वेषणकारी पत्रकार नवराज मैनालीलाई खोजेका थिए। यो घटना लगातार दुई सार्वजनिक बिदाअघि घटेको हो, जहाँ पक्राउको स्पष्ट कारण, पक्राउ पुर्जी वा अदालतको अनुमतिको प्रमाण देखिएको छैन। प्रेस काउन्सिल नेपालले यस घटनाप्रति गम्भीर चिन्ता व्यक्त गरेको छ र सञ्चार संस्थाहरूले यसलाई संवैधानिक प्रेस स्वतन्त्रताको उल्लंघन भन्दै कडा निन्दा गरेका छन्। प्रधानमन्त्री कार्यालयले भने पक्राउमा आफ्नो कुनै भूमिका नभएको स्पष्ट पारेको छ।
