Hamid Mir & Dr. Shahid Masood Yet Again Banned
The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) is extremely concerned that two popular talk programs transmitted to Pakistan from Dubai-based GEO TV have been taken off air at the request of the Government of United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The IFJ calls on the UAE Government to explain why, and on whose authority, it asked the independent Pakistan television broadcaster to cancel the programs.
The Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists (PFUJ), an affiliate of the IFJ, said the owner of GEO and the Jang group of newspapers, Mir Shakeelur Rehman, confirmed that UAE authorities had asked GEO to discontinue broadcasting Capital Talk, hosted by Islamabad-based Hamid Mir, and Meray Mutabek, hosted by Dubai-based Shahid Masood.
UAE authorities reportedly told GEO management that they did not want anything transmitted from Dubai to disturb UAE’s relationship with friendly countries.
Pakistan’s Information Minister, Sherry Rehman, reportedly said that Pakistan’s new civilian government had not asked UAE to act against GEO.
It is the second time in six months that UAE has blocked GEO programming. On November 17, 2007, the broadcaster’s Dubai office was shut down by a phone call from the UAE Government under pressure from Pakistan, which at that time was under emergency rule imposed by President Pervez Musharraf. Dubai-based Pakistan broadcaster ARY-One suffered the same fate.
Mir told the IFJ today that he had received messages in recent weeks that President Musharraf was displeased with his program.
Mir was informed this morning, as he prepared for his regular Thursday program, that the closure of both shows came into force at midnight on June 11.
Capital Talk had only returned to air in early March 2008 after being banned during the November state of emergency.
Today, the PFUJ was informed that the new bans would be debated when Pakistan’s Parliament next meets on June 14.
The IFJ joins the PFUJ in calling for a prompt parliamentary resolution for Pakistan’s Government to request that UAE authorities not intervene in the affairs of independent broadcasters and that the ban be overturned and the programs returned to air.
“The new Dubai bans against GEO TV continue a disturbing censorship pact that emerged in November 2007 when Pakistan pressured UAE to act against independent broadcasters,” said IFJ Asia-Pacific.
“The IFJ calls on the UAE Government to step back from its interference in independent and critical programming, which are essential components of a free media and open society anywhere in the world.”

Dr. Shahid Masood Will be back
A new cold war has started between the East and West. The rapid political changes occurring in Eastern Europe and Central Asia are part of this arrangement and will end up in a big confrontation in future as attempts will be made to gain control over natural resources.
This is the topic of the research thesis of Dr Shahid Masood of Geo TV. The senior political and strategic analyst and anchorperson of the popular programme ‘Meray Mutaabiq’, Dr Shahid Masood is currently presenting this thesis at the oldest institution of international relations — The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy in the United States.
Soon after joining Geo TV, Dr Shahid Masood started his post-graduate studies in International Relations and Strategic Studies last year, which is in its final stages. Dr Shahid Masood will be the only Pakistani medical graduate who, after completing his postgraduation in surgery, is now doing his post-graduation in International Relations and Strategic Studies. The most prestigious university of the United States – the Harvard University, has also offered him a fellowship.
Earlier, Dr Shahid Masood also spoke at the National Defence University, Washington, against the United Nations’ resolutions for sanctions on Iran and the restrictions imposed on that country.
Dr Shahid Masood will also deliver lectures at different institutes and address the Pakistani community in a number of US cities. Geo TV will begin the telecast of the popular programme ‘Meray Mutaabiq’ after Dr Shahid Masood returns to Pakistan.
