The Commission deemed the reports submitted by Sukkur police on the cases of Jan Muhammad Mahar and Haider Mastoi as unsatisfactory. It was decided that the Commission would formally write to the Inspector General of Sindh Police, directing a representative officer from Sukkur division to brief the Commission in its next meeting on the status of the cases of Nasrullah Gaddani, Jan Muhammad Mahar, and Haider Mastoi. Additionally, the Commission resolved to issue letters to all media owners, reminding them of their legal obligation under Article 15 of the Sindh Protection of Journalists Act 2021. This provision mandates that media employers must ensure both the insurance and safety training of their journalists. The Commission emphasized that strict compliance with this requirement is essential for the effective implementation of the law designed to safeguard journalists. Following the meeting, Commission members visited the Commission’s office at Sindh Archives, where they were briefed on the progress made regarding office operations and the official website. The Commission members expressed satisfaction with the developments.
