Journalists in various cities of Punjab in Pakistan organised protests against the killing of journalist Ajmal Joyia who was gunned down for supporting love marriage.
They demanded arrest of the killers and financial compensation for Joyia’s family. Joyia was shot dead on Monday by the relatives of a woman for supporting her in marrying a man of her choice without the family’s permission in Punjab province.
Joyia, who was in his 30s, was going home on a motorbike when he was targeted by at least three gunmen in Lodhran district.
