Union of Minority Journalist Islamabad - UMJI

Introduction

Sent: 2/17/13 10:54 AM

The local journalists around Islamabad/Rawalpindi are almost more than 40 and are facing discrimination in their fields as well. So for the last few years, local Christians and a few Hindu journalists got together and formed a Union aiming to present their issues to the authority......

So we are waiting for someone [or some people] that can support them in the time of need.
