ISLAMABAD—Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists (PFUJ) has announced to observe a black day on Monday against what it calls the draconian presidential PECA ordinance 2022 to gag media and stifle dissenting voices.

In a statement issued on Friday, PFUJ President Shahzada Zulfiqar and Secretary-General Nasir Zaidi said that the journalist body had never and would never accept such ordinances and vowed to protest against them at every forum.

The two leaders appealed to all journalists' unions to protest and hoist black flags on press clubs on Monday (28 February) to mark the black day.

PFUJ said a protest would also be held in front of parliament soon for which arrangements were being made.
