Dear President Karzai, The Committee to Protect Journalists is concerned about your government's failure to push through proposed media reforms at a time when the Afghan press is growing increasingly restricted. As a nonpartisan, not-for-profit organization of journalists committed to supporting our colleagues around the world, CPJ is troubled by our findings on Afghanistan, which suggest that media policy is increasingly aimed at hampering journalists.https://cpj.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/simon_sig.jpg
