PoliticsPakistan cracks down on foreign press after Kashmir killings

International media outlets have been barred from reporting across most of Pakistan.

The measure was announced only days after security forces were accused of killing protesters in Pakistan-administered Kashmir. The timing raises questions about whether it was accidental or calculated. DW also examined the broader state of press freedom in Pakistan with US-based Pakistani journalist Ailia Zehra.
