LAHORE: The Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan has issued a warning to journalists to stay away from demonstrations and briefings, media representatives said on Tuesday.
The Taliban said they could not guarantee the safety of journalists who covered demonstrations, rallies and news briefings because the group could target these events. It was not clear whether the warning was issued in a press statement or delivered by telephone. Journalists, however, confirmed that they had received the threat.
