Pakistan journalists stage boycott

Journalists in Peshawar, Pakistan are to boycott official functions, including press conferences, in a protest at the government's inability to find an editor who has been missing for seven weeks. Sohail Qalandar, editor of the Daily Express, and his friend Niaz Mohammad, vanished on January 2. It is thought that they were kidnapped by tribesmen, but the government has been accused by journalists of inaction. (Via Asia Media)
