    John Oliver implores the Senate to pass the PRESS Act! It's already passed the House unanimously. It would protect journalists across the political spectrum from spying and the threat of jail time for doing their jobs.

    The arrest of @BOLNETWORK's Jameel Farooqui is the latest example of "unprecedented censorship" by the Pakistani government. Media orgs, journalist unions and campaign groups have denounced the trend as a serious threat to press freedom in Pakistan.

    Gov registered cases and charged my journalist husband @arsched under ‘treason’ and compelled him to leave his pak and later forced him to leave UAE. On 24Oct he was assassinated in Kenya. We request @UNinPak @UN @antonioguterres @volker_turk @UNHumanRights to investigate case.

    The 10th anniversary of @Snowden's NSA revelations should serve as a reminder that whistleblowers who reveal official illegality, and the journalists with whom they collaborate, should be the subjects of admiration, not indictments.

    Earlier this month, Pakistani authorities unlawfully blocked the transmission of @ARYNEWSOFFICIAL and arrested the outlet’s senior executive vice president without a warrant. The intimidation and harassment of critical journalists must stop immediately.
