On December 30, freedom1 Forum released an Annual Media Report featuring freedom1 of expression issues, including press freedom1, and policy updates during 2016. FF observed relatively peaceful atmosphere for media this year (2016) with significant decline on number of press freedom1 violations. FF recorded only 25 incidents of press freedom1 violations during 2016 against 83 of 2015. With 25 incidents of violations, nearly 75 media persons were affected. Despite having much awaited constitution in place, political stability was threatened especially due to political parties’ differences over provincial demarcation, which undoubtedly kept media under fear of intimidations.
