CYRIL ALMEIDA BANNED FROM LEAVING COUNTRY DAYS AFTER REPORT ALLEGING RIFT BETWEEN MILITARY, CIVILIAN LEADERS.
Pakistan’s government has imposed a travel ban on a journalist for the daily Dawn after he sparked uproar by claiming in a report that civilian officials had clashed with the military over its covert support for militants.
Cyril Almeida, an assistant editor at Dawn, the country’s oldest and most prestigious English daily, announced early Tuesday he had been placed on the “Exit Control List.”
The report published Friday prompted threats on social media and was denied three times by the office of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. “I am told and have been informed and have been shown evidence that I am on the Exit Control List,” he tweeted, followed a short time later by “I feel sad tonight. This is my life, my country. What went wrong.”
